Easy Chocolate Cake

While i love moist and fluffy cake i also love rich, dense, flavourful, cakes. This cake is a hybrid of cake and brownie. Dense and chocolatly like a brownie but without the thick fudge taste. This easy home made recipie will have your friends wondering why they have been making boxed cake for so long!
Ingredients:
An 8oz bar of 70% coca broken into smalle peices
2 sticks of butter
4 eggs (seperated)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/3 cup almonds (optional)
cake pan (circle)
butter/crisco/oil for greasing the pan
parchment paper
heatproof bowl (or metal mixing bowl)
wisk
pot
First you need to preheat the oven to 325 F. While it is heating up seperate your eggs, and gather your ingredients. Take a pot and fill it with about a cup of water, and place your heat proof or metal bowl on top, the bowl should sit on the edges of the pot and not touch the bottom or the water. Place the chocolate and the butter into this bowl and stir until the butter and chocolate have melted together.
While this sits wisk the egg yolks and sugar together. Once done pour the melted chocolate butter mixture into the egg and sugar. Mix. Add flour and almonds folding it in. In another bowl wisk the egg whites until they have a thick and stiff consistancy. Add the whites in slowly to losen the folded flour mixture. Continue to do this until there is no more egg whites left.
Your pan should be greased with a peice of wax or parchment paper covering the bottom, pour your cake mix in. Let bake for 30 minutes. It will seem to wobble in the center but this is fine. Afte it is cooled for about 15 mins top with whatever you like! Rasberries, cool whip, even vanilla ice cream!
