Directions:
- Grease a 26-28cm springform cake tin and line the base and sides with baking paper.
- Preheat the oven to 150′C. ( a tad over 300F )
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a bain-marie of hot (not boiling) water then work in the soft butter.
- Beat the egg yolks with the 30g of sugar until pale.
- Combine them with the melted chocolate and butter.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry (preferably in a copper bowl with a wire whisk), and then beat in the 20g of sugar until stiff.
- Beat 1/4 of the egg-white mixture into the chocolate and then fold this gently but thoroughly back into the remaining egg-white mixture.
- Transfer 1/4 of the cake mixture into a bowl and refrigerate.
- Pour the balance of the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30-40 minutes.
- It should remain slightly moist in the centre; to test, press the centre with your finger after 30 minutes - it should hold the indentation.
- Remove from the oven and turn out directly onto a serving platter.
- Remove the springform ring and base.
- Leave to cool completely.
- The cake will collapse to leave a crater in the centre.
- Fill the crater with the reserved mixture and scatter with the chocolate.
- Dust lightly with cocoa and serve with whipped cream.
