Ingredients

Serves : 6 serving
  • 1 chocolate spread (bottle)


  • 125 Grams butter


  • 100 Grams almond, ground


  • 1 Tablespoon coffee


  • 6 egg, separated


  • 1 Pinch salt


  • 100 Grams dark chocolate


  • 125 Millilitres cream (for icing)


  • 125 Grams dark chocolate (for icing)


  • 1 Tablespoon strong coffee (for icing)


  • 0.5 Cup toasted almond flakes (for icing)


  • 125 Millilitres cream


  • 125 Grams dark chocolate


  • 1 Tablespoon coffe


  • 0.5 Cup almond flakes, toasted

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius
  • In large bowl, whisk together the egg whites with a pinch of salt to form soft peaks
  • In a another bowl cream together the butter and chocolate spread.
  • Add to it the coffee, eggs and the ground almond one by one. Mix well
  • Then fold in the melted dark chocolate
  • Now, spoon a large dollop of the flully egg white in to the chocolate mix and combine thoroughly
  • Fold in the remaining egg whites, one third at a time, until everything has been folded well. Don't be too heavy handed as we need the batter to be light airy.
  • Pour the batter into a greased springform tin and bake for about 35-40 minutes
  • Once done, remove from oven and leave the cake to cool.
  • Meanwhile, on low heat, add the chocolate to the cream
  • As it begins to melt, add the coffee
  • Once the chocolate has melted completely, take it off the heat and whisk well until the mixture thickens
  • Now, pour the icing over the cake and spread well, over the sides too. Let it be messy. Messy is yummy
  • Scatter the toasted almond flakes on top.
  • Dig in!
