Two nut chocolate torte

I'm not a huge fan of desserts and don't often cook them...  I would prefer a bowl of lemon sorbet any day but having said that, I do like this one.  It's simple and honest tasting. One of Jamie Oliver's of course. It's flour less and uses very little sugar, so I can pretend that it's better for me than it is.  Jamie suggests crumbling it over ice-cream and pouring some espresso over the top when it starts to go a little stale but I have always just warmed it up in the microwave and enjoyed it for a week!  Eat it with some double cream, some good ice cream or creme fraiche.

Ingredients:
150g peeled almonds
150g walnuts, chopped
300g/11oz best quality cooking chocolate
1 heaped tspn cocoa powder
255g/9oz butter
100g/3 1/2oz caster sugar
6 large eggs, separated
salt



Method:

• Preheat the oven to 190'C/375'F. Line the bottom of a 20 or 25cm/ 8-10 inch tin with a piece of greaseproof paper before buttering the bottom and sides then dusting with flour.  
• Place the nuts into a processor and blitz then up until finely ground. 
• Add the chocolate and cocoa and blitz for 30 seconds to break up the chocolate.
• Put to one side in a separate bowl.
• Add the butter and sugar to the food processor and beat until pale and fluffy
• At this point add the egg yo;ls one at a time then mix together with the chocolate and nuts
• In another bowl beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks.
• Gently fold the egg whites in the chocolate, butter and nut mix. 
• Pour all the mixture into the tin.
• Bake in the pre-heated oven for about an hour or until a knife comes out clean.
• Sometimes I find it browns before it's cooked, so you may need to place some foil over the top until it's finished cooking.
