Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 150 g (5.3 oz) dark chocolate

• 100 g (3.5 oz) milk chocolate

• 100 g (3.5 oz) butter

• 2 tablespoons potato starch

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 5 eggs, separated

• ½ cup ground almonds

• ⅓ cup sugar

• 2 tablespoons brandy or wine

• A pinch of salt

For the Glaze:

• 4 tablespoons heavy cream

• 4 tablespoons Nutella

Instructions

1. Melt the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and butter together in the microwave using short intervals, stirring between each interval. Set aside to cool.

2. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the brandy (or wine), then mix them into the melted chocolate mixture.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the sugar and salt until stiff peaks form.

4. In another bowl, combine the potato starch, baking powder, and ground almonds.

5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture. As you mix, gradually add the almond and starch mixture. Continue folding gently until a smooth, uniform batter forms.

6. Pour the batter into a well-greased baking pan.

7. Bake at 170°C (340°F) for approximately 40 minutes.

Prepare the Glaze

2. Add the Nutella and stir until completely melted and smooth.

3. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely.

4. Once the cake has cooled, pour the Nutella glaze over the top.

Enjoy!
