Pregnancy often calls for late night cravings and when you crave your favourite flourless chocolate cake which is 10,000km away from your home, well, you do the next best thing... There was no time for a full step by step photo reportage as it was late night but here is a little glimpse of the final result, I served it with freshly whipped cream, strawberries and heart shaped sprinkles, just to stay in the Valentines mood :) In a separate bowl beat the egg yolks with half of the caster sugar, then fold in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, set aside. - In a clean bowl whisk the egg whites to soft peaks and beat in the remaining sugar - Fold the egg white mixture into the chocolate one being careful not to overmix it in order to keep it airy - Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean
