| How To Cook: |

|
1. Prepare a mould for the cake by turning a round tin upside down and fastening round it a lightly buttered band of stiff kitchen paper, so that it stands up 3 or 4 inches above the tin.
|
2. Break up the chocolate, melt it in the hot water and leave for 15 minutes; it should then form a thick cream when stirred.
|
3. Beat the sugar with 2 of the egg whites and add the cold chocolate.
|
4. Beat the remaining 3 egg whites to a stiff, snowy froth and fold in the rest of the mixture lightly.
|
5. Put into the prepared mould and bake in a very slow oven (250°F) for 1¼ hours.
|
6. When the cake is cooked just lifts the paper and cake from the tin and transfer gently to a warmed plate.
|
7. This tastes rather like a marshmallow with a thin, crisp crust.
