my very personal variation of the French classic
Finely chop the chocolate and melt it in a double boiler. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add the egg yolks to the butter and sugar mixture and beat again until fluffy. Stir the ground almonds and chocolate into the batter. Finally, fold in the beaten egg whites. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top and bottom heat) or 160 degrees Celsius (fan-assisted). Brush a 24-26cm springform pan, or ideally a pie dish, thoroughly with the butter and pour in the batter. Bake on the middle rack for about 50 minutes. Serve with whipped cream and/or vanilla ice cream.
