Recipe's preparation

    Cake

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180C.

     

    Coarsely chop the chocolate for 5 seconds on speed 8. Set aside.

     

    Coarsely chop the pecans for 3 seconds on speed 7. Set aside in same bowl as chocolate.

     

    Wipe out bowl with paper towel and insert Butterfly. Whip the egg whites and sugar for approximately 2.5 - 3 minutes on speed 4 until fluffy.

     

    Remove Butterfly.

     

    Add the pecans & chocolate and mix for 30 seconds on speed 3 with the aid of the spatula through the lid to help incorporate.

     

    Pour into a greased and lined spring form tin (23cm) and bake for 40-45min.

     

    Top with Chocolate Ganache and decorate with whipped cream & the reserved whole pecans.  Serve with whipped cream, ice cream or vanilla custard.

     

    Alternatives

    Valentine - It is a dense cake. Maybe you needed to beat the egg whites & sugar a bit longer...
