Preparation time: 40 minutes
Ingredients for 6 people
4 eggs
80 g flour
130 g soft butter
150 g sugar
200 g plain chocolate
100 g chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons brandy (or any dry liqueur)
1 sachet of vanilla
Method:
1- Chop the chocolate into pieces and melt in a basin over boiling water. Add the softened butter and mix well until completely melted.
2- Flavour with the vanilla and liqueur. Beat the egg yolks with 100g sugar to a froth and, mixing all the time, add the melted and cooled chocolate.
3- Add the finely chopped walnuts to the mixture. Separately, whisk the egg whites until stiff together with the remaining sugar.
4- Sift the flour over the mixture, alternating with the egg whites, and mix very gently from the bottom towards the top so that the mixture does not lose its consistency.
5- Pour the mixture into the mould, greased and lightly dusted with flour, level out the surface and bake in the oven at 175° for 25 minutes.
6- When the cake is cooked , remove from the oven and turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
