Directions:1. Preheat the oven to 350º F (180ºC). Butter a 9 1/2 in (24 cm) non-stick cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. 2. Separate the eggs. Whisk the yolks with sugar. 3. Place a bowl over simmering water with chocolate and butter. Melt, then set the mixture aside to cool. 4. Whisk the egg yolks + sugar with the chocolate + butter. Add the flour. 5. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until they just form firm peaks. 6. Add 1/3 of the egg whites to the chocolate batter and mix vigorously. Gently fold in the remaining whites. 7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake until the cake is firm and springy, about 23 min. 8. Turn onto a plate. Dust with confectioner’s sugar or sprinkle with almonds. |
