Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Beat the eggs and the egg yolks with 3 Tablespoons of sugar until thick and fluffy.

In a food processor, grind the almonds with 1/4 cup of sugar (I find that grinding almonds with sugar helps ensure a finer, even grind). Add this almond sugar mixture to the egg and egg yolk mixture, along with the pistachios and cocoa powder.

Melt the butter with 1/4 cups of chocolate chips in the microwave (use 50% power and 30 seconds intervals until butter is melted) and blend until smooth.

Add chocolate mixture to batter.

Beat the egg whites with 2 tablespoons of sugar to soft peaks. Gently fold into the batter.

Pour the batter into a well-greased loaf pan.Bake for about 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
