*Ghiradelli chocolate comes in 6 ounce bars!. Every two squares = an ounce!., use 60 percent cocoa!.
Ingredients:
6 ? ounces bittersweet (60 percent cocoa) chocolate (Ghiradelli)
12 tablespoons (1 ? sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup of sugar
1 2/3 cups (7 ounces) ground sliced almonds (grind in a food processor or blender)
4 large eggs, separated
For the icing:
3 ? ounces bittersweet (60 percent cocoa) chocolate (Ghiradelli)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Method:
Heat the oven to 300°F!. Line a 10-inch spring-form pan with parchment paper (not wax paper)!. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (or use a double boiler if you have one)!. Remove from the heat and cool until tepid!. Cream together the butter and sugar until soft and creamy using an electric mixer!. Add the ground almonds, egg yolks, and melted chocolate, and beat until evenly blended!. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, add to the cake mixture, and quickly fold in until evenly mixed using a rubber spatula!. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes!. A light crust will form on the top and the middle should still be a little squishy!. Leave to cool a little before carefully removing the sides!. Cool on a wire rack!. Slide a long knife under the cake to release it from the parchment, but leave the cake on the paper!.
For the icing:
Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water!. Spread evenly over the top of the cake and leave to set!.
