Ingredients you will need:

  • 200g dark 70% chocolate

Method

1  Preheat the oven to gas 4/180C (160C in a fan oven) Add the chocolate, Pure Via and spread to a heat proof bowl then sit it over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until melted then remove and put to one side.

2  Stir the almonds and hazelnuts into the mixture and beat in the egg yolks one by one.

3  Whisk the egg whites until they reach stiff peaks then, adding a little at a time, fold each egg  into the chocolate mixture making sure it is mixed in before adding the next. Pour into the tin then put in the oven to bake for about 35-50 minutes until cake is cooked through.

Remove from oven and leave to cool in tin for 10 minutes before releasing then turn out onto a wire rack to cool. Dust with the cocoa if you wish and cut into small squares to serve.

So if you’re wanting a treat to bake up for Father’s Day or any other celebration, then do try it and let us know how you get on.
