Stir the butter, chocolate and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until smooth and then transfer to a large bowl. Add the flour, ground and chopped almonds and stir. Add the egg yolks one by one and mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl beat the egg whites until stiff. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Pour the mixture into the cake tin.
