100g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing


175g caster sugar


4 eggs, separated


100g ground almonds


6 tbsp milk


100g plain chocolate, melted


175g self-raising flour


220g jar chocolate toffee sauce (we love Merchant Gourmet's Dulce de Leche Chocolate Toffee, from major supermarkets)





Preheat the oven to 180掳C/fan160掳C/gas 4. Grease a square 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin and line the base with baking paper.





Cream the butter and sugar until very light. Beat the egg yolks and add to the mixture, a little at a time, beating well. Fold in the ground almonds, milk and melted chocolate.





Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Using a large metal spoon, carefully fold a third into the chocolate mixture. Once well mixed, fold in the rest, then fold in the flour. Spoon into the prepared tin, level the surface and bake for 35 minutes.





Prick the top of the cake all over with a skewer and spoon over the chocolate toffee sauce. Gently spread over the top and return to the oven for 5 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then slide or lift out. Cut into squares and serve hot or warm with cr猫me fraiche.

Method


1. For the chocolate cake: put a roasting tray, half-filled with boiling water, in an oven set at 150C/gas 2. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin with parchment paper. If it is a springform tin, cover the outside with tin foil to stop the water getting in.





2. Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water. The bowl should not be in direct contact with the water. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little.





3. Meanwhile, separate the eggs. Whisk the yolks with 100g sugar until pale in colour. In another bowl, whisk the eggs whites and remaining 50g sugar to soft peak stage. It should look light and glossy. In a third bowl, whisk half the cream to soft peaks.





4. Combine the melted chocolate and egg yolk mixture, then stir in the remaining unwhipped cream. Carefully fold in the whipped cream, followed by the egg whites. Try not to lose too much air from the mixture.





5. Pour into the prepared tin and sit in the roasting tray of water. The water level should be right up to the rim of the tin. Bake for 45 minutes- 1 hour, The cake should be firm on top, but retain a slight wobble when ready. Leave to cool before serving.
