Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Grease and line a 23cm/9in round springform cake tin.

Step 2

Melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of gently bubbling water or in the microwave. Mix well then leave to cool a little.

Step 3

Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a large bowl for 3 minutes, until pale and thick. Fold in the chocolate mixture and cocoa powder.

Step 4

Whisk the egg whites with clean electric beaters in a separate bowl until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the egg white into the chocolate mixture a quarter at a time, until evenly mixed. Pour into the cake tin, level the surface and bake for 35–40 minutes until risen, cracked and with a very slight wobble in the centre.

Step 5

Leave the cake to cool in the tin on a wire rack. It will sink in the middle a little as it cools. Serve warm or chilled with spoonfuls of crême fraîche, if using.
