7 ingredients
7 steps

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (1 cup)
  • 5/8 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups superfine sugar
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1 lime, zest and juice

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350 F, line bottom of a 9 inch springform pan with parchment paper and butter or spray sides of pan.
  2. 2
    Melt chocolate and butter together either in double boiler or in microwave 30 seconds at a time until melted. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. 3
    Beat eggs and sugar together until triple in volume, pale and mousselike.
  4. 4
    Mix almond meal with cocoa powder. Gently fold into egg mixture. Follow with chocolate mixture, then lime zest and juice.
  5. 5
    Pour into prepared pan. Bake 40-45 minutes. Will be just firm on top but have a bit of wobble underneath.
  6. 6
    Cool in pan on a wire rack. When slightly cool, drape a clean kitchen towel over cake to stop from getting too crusty (some cracking/cratering is to be expected).
  7. 7
    When completely cool, loosen edges from pan, release springform edge, remove. Dust with confectioner's sugar if desired.
