Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan with boiling water. Beat the egg whites with half the sugar until stiff. In a separate bowl, beat the butter, egg yolks and the rest of the sugar for a few minutes until really creamy. Add the melted chocolate. Fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, and add the nuts. Put half the mixture into a flan dish and put the other half in the fridge. Bake flan for 25-30 minutes at 170ºC. When the baked half is completely cooled, spread the refrigerated mixture over the top.

Introduction
This cake is utterly divine. Two layers of the same mixture, the bottom half baked, and the top half chilled. It is especially divine with fresh cream and blackberry coulis, or with fresh fruit such as strawberries.

Show more commentsCould you bake this in individual dishes? I want to do a dessert for a cocktail party and thought smaller would be cuter?
