Ingredients
- 360g butter
- 400g dark chocolate
- 150g bitter chocolate (85 percent cocoa minimum)
- 430g light brown sugar
- 90ml water
- 1 tbsp cinnamon (you can also use ginger or cardamom)
- 7 eggs
- salt (pinch)
Instructions
- Preheat over to 170 degrees celcius.
- Line base and sides of 25cm springform pan with baking parchment.
- Place butter and both chocolates in a large mixing bowl over a pan of gently boiling water (bottom of the bowl should not touch the water).
- Meanwhile, put sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Pour the sugar syrup over the chocolate/butter and stir until smooth. Remove from heat.
- Separate eggs, placing whites in a mixing bowl. Add yolks to the chocolate mixture. Stir in ground spice.
- Add a pinch of salt to the egg whites and whisk them until they hold firm peaks.
- Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mix and pour about 75 percent of the mixture into the spring-form pan and place in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature.
- Flatten the top of the cake with a spoon or palette knife and then pour the remaining batter on top and put back in the oven for 25-30 minutes. The top layer should be set but still a bit 'wet'.
- Leave to cool completely before removing from the tin.
Notes
- Serve with fresh cream and fruit.
