Debbie P's Grandma's Chocolate Cake

Below is Grandma's flourless chocolate cake. Mum made it for our Austrian Winter Feast. It was yummy. I've made it but found it a bit tricky. So good luck with it. We put a layer of apricot jam on top then cover with chocolate ganach.

1 glass water
¼ pound chocolate
4 oz sugar
4 oz round almonds
5 eggs –separated
1 tbl breadcrumbs

Put water, chocolate, sugar and almonds in a saucepan. Heat, dissolve sugar and chocolate. Cool chocolate mixture. Beat yolks into chocolate mixture. Whip egg whites, fold in breadcrumbs. Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 mins to 1 hour.
