Two-Nuts Chocolate Torte
Recipe courtesy Jamie Oliver

Ingredients
5 1/2 ounces shelled and peeled almonds
5 1/2 ounces shelled walnuts, finely ground
11 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
1 heaped teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
9 ounces butter
3 1/2 ounces sugar
6 large free-range eggs, separated
Salt

Directions
Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Line the bottom of an 8 to 10-inch
tin with a piece of greaseproof paper. Butter the bottom and sides then dust with flour. Place the
nuts into a food processor and whizz up until finely ground. Then add the chocolate and cocoa and
whiz for 30 seconds to break up the chocolate. Remove to a bowl and set aside. Add the butter and
sugar to the food processor and beat until pale and fluffy. At this point add the egg yolks 1 at a

time them mix together with the chocolate and nuts.
In another bowl beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold
the egg whites into the chocolate, butter and nut mix. Pour all the mixture into the tin. Bake in a
preheated oven about 1 hour. To test if the torte is cooked, insert a cocktail stick or the tip of a
knife for 5 seconds; when removed it should be reasonably clean. Serve with whipped cream, ice-cream
or creme fraiche.
