Scale
Ingredients
100g butter
100g dark chocolate (at least 65% cacao), chopped
4 medium eggs
100g caster sugar
100g (about 1 cup) ground almonds
½– ¾ cup frozen berries, defrosted & drained
Cocoa & Icing sugar for dusting
Whipped cream – to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 170 fan bake. Grease the sides of 21cm spring form cake tin. Line bottom with baking paper.
- In a small saucepan gently melt butter and chocolate over a low heat. Remove from heat, cover with a tea towel and set aside.
- Separate the eggs into two bowls. Add sugar to the yolk and beat until very pale, thick and foamy. Whisk cooled chocolate/butter mix until smooth and fold into egg/sugar mix, along with almonds until a smooth batter. Beat egg whites until soft peak stage and fold these into the cake batter in 2-3 batches.
- Gently scrape mixture into prepared tin. Arrange berries on top (they will sink during cooking but don’t worry).
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until skewer inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin before running a knife around the edges and releasing.
- Dust with cocoa & icing sugar and serve warm with whipped cream.
