Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (gas mark 6). Butter and flour a 24 cm round tin.
  2. Separate the whites from the yolks. Whisk the yolks with the sugar until pale and foamy.
  3. Add the ground walnuts, the flour mixed with the baking powder, the melted butter and the milk, folding gently.
  4. Beat the whites into firm peaks and fold them carefully into the batter with a spatula.
  5. Pour into the tin and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden and a knife comes out dry. Let it cool.
  6. Melt the chocolate with the butter and milk in a bain-marie, then spread this smooth cream over the cooled cake.
