Flourless Chocolate Cake

4 eggs
200g butter
200g dark chocolate
1 cup caster sugar

Pre heat oven to 180 degrees C. Separate eggs, add 1/2 sugar to the yolks and beat well with a mixer. Beat egg whites until fluffy then add remaining sugar, gradually beating until stiff peaks form. Melt butter  and chocolate over hot water, stirring regularly.

Pour into egg yolk mixture and fold. Once combined, fold in egg whites. Line a cake tin with greaseproof paper and pour in mixture. Bake for 40 minutes in the lower third of the oven.

NB: This cake will collapse as it has no flour to sustain the rise.

Optional: Can be served warm or cold and is delicious with fresh whipped cream.
