As if we didn't have enough chocolate during the festive season, here is my family recipe for a dark chocolate cake. It is easy to make. The most important thing is the quality of dark chocolate: it has to be absolutely excellent. I get my chocolate from a small chocolate factory near where I live, called 'Dolc - Art'.
Torta di cioccolato - Serves 6 - 8
300g dark chocolate, 5 eggs, 100g of sugar, 50g of flour, 100g of butter, half a glass of milk, an orange, icing sugar, salt.
Melt chocolate with butter. Add flour, sugar, egg yolks (one at a time), grated orange zest, milk and a pinch of salt. Mix all ingredients carefully, then gently fold in 5 whipped egg whites. Bake at moderate heat (150 C) for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle icing sugar on top and serve. Optional:serve with pears.

Hi Guido!
On the third line from the bottom of the recipe, did you mean 5 whipped egg whites instead of egg yolks as stated?
Yes, I meant egg whites. Sorry! I'll correct the post!
