Method
  1. 01

    Melt the chocolate and butter over a bain-marie and cool slightly.

  2. 02

    Whisk yolks with half the sugar until pale, then fold into the chocolate with the cocoa.

  3. 03

    Whip the whites with the remaining sugar to soft peaks and fold in gently.

  4. 04

    Bake at 170 °C for 28–32 minutes; the centre should still wobble.

  5. 05

    Cool completely before slicing.
