Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 egg whites
220g caster sugar
150g coarsely chopped dark chocolate
100g toasted blanched almonds, coarsely chopped
75g coarsely chopped dates
1 tsp vanilla
Icing
300ml thickened cream
1 tsp vanilla
Garnish
toasted flaked almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 170 degrees. Line the base of a 20cm round tin with baking paper. Butter and flour the tin and set aside. Put the eggwhites in a clean, dry mixer bowl and beat until quite foamy. Gradually beat in the sugar, a little at a time, until the meringue is thick and shiny, about 5 mins. Very gently fold int he chocolate, almonds, dates and vanilla, deflating the whites as little as possible. Scrape into the prepared tin and bake for about 40 mins or until a skewer comes out clean. Remove and loosen carefully around the sides with a spatula. Cool in tin on rack. The top will have risen and will collapse and crack as it cools. Once cool, invert onto a flat serving plate and chill for at least 6 hours (up to 5 days). When ready to serve transfer cake to a serving plate. Whip cream and spread over cake. Scatter with toasted almonds.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with more frosting. But overall, it was a good cake.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out like the picture. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as pretty.

This cake was a disaster! The meringue topping didn't turn out right and the cake was dry and crumbly. I would not recommend this recipe.
