Ingredients

200 g dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
150 g butter, chopped into small pieces
5 eggs, separated
½ cup Caster Sugar
½ cup Icing Sugar
1 ½ cups fine ground almonds
Extra Icing Sugar to dust

Method

1. Preheat oven to 160°C. Spray a 23 cm spring form tin with non stick baking spray and line with non stick baking paper.
2. In the microwave (or small saucepan over a very gentle heat) melt the chocolate and butter, stirring together to blend well. Stir in the egg yolks, sugars and ground almonds.
3. In a separate bowl with clean beaters, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Carefully fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and then pour into the prepared tin.
4. Bake for approximately 1 hour until firm in the centre. Run a palette knife around the edge of the tin to loosen the sides then remove the spring form ring and turn out on a wire rack to cool completely.
