Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• 200 g bittersweet chocolate (organic preferred)
• 150 g butter
• 150 g icing sugar
• 150 g almonds, ground
• 6 egg yolks
• 6 egg whites, whipped
• 1 tablespoon coffee, hot & black
• 1 tablespoon rum

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350*. break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it with the rum and coffee on top of a double boiler.
• 2 put the butter, almonds and icing sugar into a pan and stir over "low" heat until the butter melts and the ingredients are well-mixed. stir in the chocolate mixture.
• 3 remove from heat and let cool slightly. stir in the egg yolks thoroughly ( if the mixture is not cool enough the eggs will separate) and then fold in the egg whites.
• 4 turn into a 9" springform pan that you have coated with cooking spray. bake @ 350* for 45-60 minutes. the cake will still be moist in the middle when done, and is very "fragile" due to the absence of flour.
