How I make it

Cake

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9-inch (22 cm) round pan.

  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth.

  3. Beat the 2 whole eggs and 4 yolks with 1/3 cup of the sugar until light and airy.

  4. Add the amaretto and the chocolate mixture.

  5. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with the rest of the sugar to stiff peaks.

  6. Fold the two mixtures together.

  7. Pour into the pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the cake puffs up and cracks on top. As it cools, the center sinks.

Filling

  1. Whip the cream, and once it holds its shape, add the vanilla and amaretto.

  2. Fill the hollow in the cake with the whipped cream, dust with cocoa and serve.
