25 mins prep, 40-45mins Baking+cooling

Serves 10-12 ppl

150g Dark Chocolate (i always use normal Dove chocolate, its not cooking chocolate, but works really well and is sooooo creamy)
8 tsp coffee & chicory essence
125g Unsalted Butter
1/2 cup Castor Sugar
1 cup Ground Almonds (almond meal)
1 Cup Fresh Brown Breadcrumbs ( I use a bought chocolate sponge cake)
4 Large Eggs, seperated

ICING
200g Dark Chocolate
1/2 Cup Sour Cream

Preheat oven 180, Grease & line base of a 23cm springform tin. In a small bowl, mix the choc, coffee & chicory essence.

In another bowl, beat the butter & sugar, until pale & creamy. Add almonds, breadcrumbs, yolks & chocolate mixture. Beat until combined.

Whisk white until stiff. Mix 2 tblsp whites into choc mix, to slacken it. Fold in remaining whites.

Spoon mixture into tin & bake for 40-45mins, or until firm. Turn out onto a wire cooling rack to cool & cover with a slightly damp, clean teatowel for 5 mins. Remove teatowel & allow to cool completely.

For icing, melt choc, remove from heat, whisk in sour cream.

While icing is still warm pour over cake & let set.

This is completely yummy..........
