8 egg whites
1 cup caster Sugar
250 g ground Hazelnuts or other ground nuts
Chocolate Topping
8 egg yolks
125g butter or margarine
3/4 cup castor sugar
200g-250g good quality dark chocolate
Base
Line 9"x 13"baking pan with greaseproof paper.
Beat egg whites until stiff, adding 200 grams of sugar gradually.
Mix in hazelnuts by hand.
Put in cake tin and bake on 160C for 1/2 an hour.
Chocolate Topping
Melt chocolate with butter and allow to cool [use a bowl on top of a pot of boiling water so it doesn’t burn]. Beat egg yolks and sugar. Pour cooled chocolate mixture into egg yolk mixture by hand. Pour chocolate topping over base and cook in the oven for 30 minutes [the chocolate will still be softish, it will harden up when cool]
