Easy Rich Chocolate Cake

• 8oz dark chocolate, 70% cocoa solids, broken into chunks
• 1 cup/2 sticks unsalted butter, cut into cubes
• 1/2 cup fine sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 4 medium eggs, separated
• 1/4 cup plain flour
• 1/3 cup ground almonds
• raspberries and whipping cream for garnish

1. Pre-heat oven (325 degrees), and grease a 10- inch spring form cake tin, lining the base and sides with baking parchment.
2. Next, put your butter and chocolate in a heat- proof bowl over a pan of water on low heat. Stir occasionally until melted.
3. Meanwhile whisk yolks with sugars. When the chocolate and butter are melted, drizzle this into the yolk mixture while whisking; fold in the flour / almond mix.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk egg whites until they hold firm peaks. Stir a spoonful of the egg whites into the chocolate mix, then fold in the remainder with as gentle a touch as possible.
5. Pour the cake mixture into the tin; bake for 30 minutes or until it is almost set.
6. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before releasing the sides.
7. Serve with raspberries and whipped cream.
