1.Line & grease spring form tin 8''
2.Melt chocolate very gently over water & as soon as it starts to melt add coffee & leave for 2or 3 minutes. Stir gently & then add diced butter. Stir until melted.
3.Beat5 egg whites until stiff. Fold in Sugar. Mix Baking powder with cocoa& flour. Take chocolate off heat, stir in egg yolks quickly, fold in egg whites then sift in flour mixture. Be gentle, you need to leave the air in the egg whites.
4. Pour into tin (very runny batter).
5. Bake at Gas Mark 4 (180 C) for 35 minutes. Leave to cool in tin. It puffs up a lot whilst cooking then sinks as it cools. The centre should be squidgy.
Really good with cream.
