Melt the chocolate with the butter in a bain-marie, stirring until smooth, then let it cool slightly

Break the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Beat the yolks with half of the sugar until pale and fluffy, then add the rum and mix
4
Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt and the remaining sugar until stiff and glossy
5
Add the melted chocolate and ground almonds to the yolk mixture and mix well
6
Finally, gently fold in the whipped egg whites, mixing from bottom to top to avoid deflating them
7
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 24 cm baking pan
8
Bake at 170°C for 40–45 minutes, let it cool slightly, and decorate with powdered sugar
Tip:
Once baking is complete, insert a toothpick in the center of the cake: if it comes out dry, it is ready; otherwise, extend the baking for a few more minutes
Cost
The cost is mainly influenced by the quality of the dark chocolate and almonds. Using good quality ingredients increases the price but guarantees an excellent result. Ideal as a dessert for special occasions without exceeding costs
Health
It is naturally gluten-free, therefore suitable for people with celiac disease. Rich in healthy fats thanks to almonds, but also high in calories due to butter and sugar. Best enjoyed in moderation, but perfect as an energy-boosting dessert
