Lindt Grandmother’s Chocolate Cake




Source of Recipe


Lindt


List of Ingredients




150 g butter

1 pinch salt

100 g sugar

5 egg yolks

150 g finely ground hazelnuts or almonds

150 g Lindt Dark Chocolate

100 g flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

5 egg whites

100 g sugar



Recipe



Grease or line a 28 cm long cake tin.

Whip the soft butter and salt until you can form peaks. Fold in 100 g of sugar and the egg yolks. Chop the chocolate into small pieces and mix in together with the nuts. Sieve the flour and baking powder together and mix well into the mixture. Whip the egg whites until they begin to become stiff, gradually add 100 g of sugar and continue to whip until the mixture is shiny. Carefully fold this mixture thoroughly into the butter and chocolate mix using a rubber spatula and pour into the cake tin.

To bake: 50 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 °C. Test the cake using a baking needle. Leave to cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Tip:
Milk chocolate can be used in place of the dark chocolate.
