Preparation

Preheat oven to moderate (180°C).

Place the chocolate, coffee or hot chocolate, brandy, caster sugar and butter in a heat-proof bowl and melt over a saucepan of water, stirring occasionally until chocolate and butter have melted.

Add almond meal and mix well with a wooden for 1½ minutes.

Using an electric beater beat in the egg yolks one at a time.

Beat the egg whites in another bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the two mixtures together.

Pour into the cake tin and cook for 40 minutes or until the middle isn't gooey.

Cover the cake with foil if it browns to quickly. Let the cake cool in the tin before removing. Do not worry if the cake falls apart while taking it out of the tin.

Dust with icing sugar when the cake is cooled.

Hot Tips

Tearing basil leaves

Tear basil leaves with your fingers rather than chopping with a knife. The steel of a knife oxidizes the basil and will turn the cut edge of the basil black.

Glossary

Lassi

A traditional Indian drink that used to be made from buttermilk with salt added to combat dehydration in the hot climate. These days it is made from thin yoghurt, with salt or sugar.
