Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan with parchment paper.
2
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler). Let it cool slightly.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture, whisking until combined.
4
In another bowl, combine the ground walnuts, flour, and baking powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan before removing it.
6
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
7
Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice the cake horizontally into two layers. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the bottom layer, then gently place the top layer over the cream.
8
Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with toasted walnuts for decoration. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
