Summery variation of a chocolate cake

Cream the butter and sugar together, then add the egg yolks and continue beating until creamy. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and carefully fold it into the mixture. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold it into the mixture. Mix the baking powder and flour, sift them, and stir them into the batter along with the tiger nuts. Wash and pick the currants. Pour the batter into the greased and floured baking dish, scatter the currants on top, and press down lightly.
