Ingredients

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F and coat a 20cm/8″ diameter spring-form tin with butter and cacao powder.

2

Melt the chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl sitting over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Remove the bowl from the heat and mix in the sugar, vanilla extract and ground almonds with a whisk. Stir through the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing after each addition, until you have a thick batter.

3

Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add the egg whites to the chocolate batter and fold through gently until just combined.

4

Pour the chocolate batter into the prepared cake tin and place in the oven to bake for about 35 minutes until it is firm but with a slight wobble. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to sit on a wire rack to cool in its tin, before removing the tin to cool completely.
