Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Separate 2 of the 10 eggs: put the yolks in a large bowl, set the whites aside for now.
Beat the butter with the sugar until fluffy, add the 2 egg yolks, then 2 whole eggs (from the remaining 8 eggs).
Mix in the almonds, flour, breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and cinnamon, finally the grated chocolate.
Separate the remaining 6 eggs as well, and whisk all the whites together with the 2 reserved earlier (8 egg whites total) to stiff peaks.
Gently fold the foam into the batter.
Bake in a buttered, floured cake tin at 170°C for about 45-50 minutes, until a skewer comes out dry.
Once cool, make an icing from 100 g melted chocolate and 50 g butter, and coat the cake with it.
