Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 ml) butter
- 2 cups (500 ml) sugar
- 4 eggs, separated
- 1 cup (250 ml) grated unsweetened chocolate, melted
- 2 cups (500 ml) all-purpose flour sifted with
- 2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
- 1 cup (250 ml) strong coffee
- 1 cup (250 ml) chopped almonds
- Powdered (confectioner's) sugar for garnish
Preparation
Step 1
Beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks until light, and add the melted chocolate, stirring to combine. Add the sifted flour mixture alternating with the coffee, beating just enough to incorporate them. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks in a separate bowl and fold into the batter along with the almonds. Pour into a greased tube or Bundt pan and bake in a preheated 350F (180V) oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool a little before removing from the pan. Cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar. Serves 8 to 10.
