Ingredients

Directions

Process the chocolate in a food processor until finely chopped.

Bring cream just to simmering point in a saucepan.

With the motor running, pour hot cream over chopped chocolate and process until smooth.

Add 1/4 cup sugar, egg yolks one at a time, butter, and vanilla essence and process until combined.

Combine breadcrumbs and chocolate mixture in a large bowl and mix well.

Butter a round 20 cm diameter cake tin or souffle dish and sprinkle with the extra caster sugar.

Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.

Gradually add remaining sugar, beating until thick and glossy.

Gently fold whites into the chocolate mizture until thoroughly combined.

Spoon mixture into prepared tin and place in a baking pan.

Pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the tin and bake at for 45-50 minutes, or until cooked when tested with a skewer.

Leave in tin for 10 minutes before turning out on a serving platter.
