Rigo Jancsi Chocolate Slices
Recipe Courtesy of Jennifer Paterson and Clarissa Dickson Wright

Ingredients
3 eggs, separated
3 tablespoons caster sugar
1 ounce dark chocolate, grated
2 tablespoons plain flour
For the filling:
Apricot jam
1 ounce cocoa powder
Vanilla essence
6 ounces double cream, stiffly whipped for the chocolate icing
6 ounces dark chocolate
1 ounce unsalted butter

Directions
Cream together the egg yolks and sugar. Whisk the egg whites until very
stiff. Add the grated chocolate and flour to the yolk mixture, then fold in the whites. Line and

grease a 1 1/2 pound loaf pan and pour in chocolate mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees
for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn out and cool on a rack. When cold, slice in half lengthways through the
middle.

Spread both halves of cake with jam on the cut sides. For the filling, mix together all the
remaining ingredients and spread evenly over one half on top of the jam. Make the icing by melting
the chocolate with the butter. Allow to cool slightly, then spread over the jam on the other half.
Put the two strips together so that the icing and filling are together in the middle, with the iced
strip on top, and chill slightly before slicing to serve.
