ingredients
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (1 cup)
- 5⁄8 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 6 eggs
- 1 1⁄4 cups superfine sugar
- 1 cup almond meal
- 4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 1 lime, zest and juice
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F, line bottom of a 9 inch springform pan with parchment paper and butter or spray sides of pan.
- Melt chocolate and butter together either in double boiler or in microwave 30 seconds at a time until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Beat eggs and sugar together until triple in volume, pale and mousselike.
- Mix almond meal with cocoa powder. Gently fold into egg mixture. Follow with chocolate mixture, then lime zest and juice.
- Pour into prepared pan. Bake 40-45 minutes. Will be just firm on top but have a bit of wobble underneath.
- Cool in pan on a wire rack. When slightly cool, drape a clean kitchen towel over cake to stop from getting too crusty (some cracking/cratering is to be expected).
- When completely cool, loosen edges from pan, release springform edge, remove. Dust with confectioner's sugar if desired.
