Ingredients:
- 4/5 eggs
- 100g ground almonds
- 140g chocolate (I've used Milka, Cadbrys and giant Areos too. Choose your favorite!)
- 85 grams of castor sugar
- Pinch of Salt
Steps 1,4,6 and 8 respectably
- Separate the eggs - whites in one bowl, yolks in another.
- Melt the chocolate over boiling water
- Whisk the egg whites, gradually adding the castor sugar until stiff
- When chocolate is fully melted, add ground almonds gradually until the chocolate has soaked all the almonds
- Add the egg yolks to the chocolate/almond mixture
- When egg whites are stiff, fold then slowly into the chocolate mixture
- Line tin with greese proof paper or butter/marg.
- Cook in the over at 150 degrees for 35-40 mins
- Serve and enjoy!
You can also make the cake with a chocolate center (see above) by baking it in two separate tins/one tin and cutting it in half and then adding a chocolate sauce. Chocolate sauce can be made by melted chocolate and adding a small amount of cream.
Top tip - don't use 85% cocoa unless you like chocolate that bitter. I personally think it's horrid!

I'm never too precise with what I bake and I like to make changes here and there. I'm also not to particular with measurements - life's too short. Baking about enjoyment!
What's you favorite thing to bake?
