To make the cake, melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of boiling water. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until white and soft. Add the egg yolks gradually, one by one, then beat in the almonds (if using) and beat them in. After this, gently fold in the chocolate with a spoon, then add the bread crumbs, flour and vanilla essence and mix together. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites, along with a pinch of sugar,&nbsp;until stiff &#8211; but do not over beat. Fold the egg whites into the cake mixture and then pour the mixture into your buttered cake tin (lined with paper). Place in the oven and cook for 1 hour.   <\/p>\n<p>  For the icing, place the cocoa powder and icing sugar in a mixing bowl. Then&nbsp;in a pan gently warm&nbsp;together the butter, sugar and water until dissolved. Add the liquid into the dry ingredients and mix together for&nbsp;a thick but &#39;pourable&#39; consistency. Once the cake has cooked and cooled, turn it out onto a plate and pour the icing over it. Leave to set.   <\/p>\n<p> written by Liz Jarvis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You don&#39;t really need a scientist to tell you that tea can reduce stress &#8211; this week I&#39;ve drunk so much of the stuff (sweetened with sugar for the first time in 30 years!) that I&#39;m thinking of changing my name by deedpoll to PG Tips.
