Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas mark 4). Grease and line a round, loose-bottomed 20cm tin.
Step 2:
Place the dark chocolate and butter into a large bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Heat gently to melt the contents. Stir until the mix has melted then add the golden caster sugar.
Step 3:
Remove from the heat and pour into a bowl with the egg yolks, flour, baking powder and vanilla extract. In another clean, dry bowl beat the egg whites until stiff.
Step 4:
Add the egg white mix one tablespoon at a time and fold into the cake mix. Gradually mix everything together, pour into a cake tin and bake for 50 minutes.
Step 5:
Leave to cool for five minutes before turning out and serving with fresh cream and raspberries.

Recipe Reviews
Delicious.
Very nice
I baked both the gluten free and normal version and both were fantastic. This is a recipe I will use over and over again as it works and is very tasty.
This is an absolutely amazing find on bakingmad, my dad is gluten intolerant, so it was a real surprise when I showed him the cake I had made. Thanks for the big save, bakingmad! (Also the cake is delicious!)
