Chilled Italian Chocolate Cake





This is easy to make, there's no cooking, it always comes out well and it's the best chocolate cake you'll ever taste!





Ingredients





225g/8oz Semi-sweet chocolate - cut into small pieces


Half medium wineglass rum or brandy


225g/8oz Soft unsalted butter


50g/2oz Caster sugar


2 Eggs - separated


150g/5oz Grated, blanched almonds


Pinch salt


12 Butter biscuits (petit beurre) cut each biscuit into four pieces


Icing sugar


Method





Lightly grease bottom and sides of a two-and-a-half pint loaf tin.





Melt chocolate in a saucepan over a low heat, stirring constantly.





When all chocolate has melted, stir in rum or brandy.





Remove pan from heat and cool to room temperature.





Cream the butter until light and fluffy, beat in the sugar and add egg yolks one at a time. Stir in the grated almonds and then the chocolate mixture.





In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until stiff enough to form soft peaks. Fold this into the chocolate mixture.





When all streaks of white have disappeared, gently fold in the cut-up biscuits, discarding the crumbs.





Spoon the mixture into the greased tin and smooth top.





Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours or until very firm.





Unmould one hour before serving. To do so, run a sharp knife around the sides of the tin and dip the bottom of the tin into hot water for a few seconds. Place a chilled serving dish upside down over the tin and grasping both sides, quickly turn the plate and tin over. The cake should slide out easily, if not repeat process.





Smooth the top and sides of the cake and return to refrigerator. Just before serving sieve a little icing sugar over the cake.Does any one have a really good recipe for a get well cake?
weigh 3 eggs, then what ever the weight, use the same amounts of s/r flour, butter and sugar.. mix well till light and fluffy then throw it in the oven as you usually do.. you say they always turn out alright for you so this should be a beeze
