  Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
       Yield: 1 servings
  
     3/4 c  Butter
     3/8 lb Chocolate; broken up
       4    Eggs; separated
     3/4 c  Caster sugar
     1/2 c  Ground almonds; toasted
     1/4 c  Flour
     1/8 ts Cream of tartar
            To serve:
            Icing sugar
            Ginger ice-cream
  
   Melt the butter over low heat.  Remove from the stove, add
   the chocolate and stir once or twice until the chocolate
   has melted.  Beat the egg yolks with 1/2 cup of the sugar
   until pale and thick.  Stir in the melted chocolate,
   almonds and flour. Beat the eggwhites and cream of tartar
   until they form soft peaks.  Gradually add the remaining
   sugar and beat until the mixture has a meringue
   consistency.  Fold 1/4 of the egg whites into the chocolate
   mixture, then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites.
   Grease and flour a 22cm square tin lined with greaseproof
   paper and spoon in the mixture.  Bake in a preheated 190'C
   oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the cake is cooked.
   Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin, then turn
   out onto a rack. Dust with icing sugar and cut in squares
   to serve. Can be served with thickened cream or with ginger
   ice-cream.
