Here's today's recipe for you....this one is full of nutty goodness so I figured it suited these guys!
Sour Cherry Chocolate Cake
Ingredients
8 egg whites
1 cup caster sugar
250g hazelnuts - dry roasted and ground (I believe these are known as filberts in The USA)
3 Sao biscuits - very finely crushed
720ml jar pitted sour morello cherries - drained
125g butter
1/3 cup caster sugar - extra
125g dark eating chocolate
4 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method
Line a greased 22cm springform pan with Glad Bake. Whip egg whites until stiff but not dry, gradually add sugar and beat. Gently fold through hazelnuts and Sao biscuits. Spread evenly in tin and bake 180oC / 35 - 40 mins. While cake is baking make chocolate topping. Cream butter and extra sugar until light and fluffy. Melt chocolate and add to butter mixture with egg yolks and vanilla. When cake has finished the baking time, remove from oven and cover surface with the cherries. Spread chocolate topping over. Return to oven for a further 25 - 30mins to set topping.
