List of Ingredients




3/4 cup unsalted butter

4 oz unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped

4 eggs

2 cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (essence)

1 cup all-purpose (plain) flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped almonds

1 tablespoon confectioners' (icing) sugar



Recipe



Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.


In the top pan of a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over (not touching) simmering water in a pan, combine the butter and chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool.


In a bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is thick, pale yellow and holds a trail for 3 or 4 seconds when the beaters are lifted from the batter, 3-4 minutes.


Stir in the vanilla and the cooled butter-chocolate mixture until no streaks remain; do not overmix. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour, baking powder and salt until just blended. Fold in the almonds.


Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with some wet crumbs attached, 25-30 minutes.


Transfer to a rack and let cool in the pan. Cut into 2-inch squares. Just before serving, using a fine-mesh sieve or sifter, dust lightly with the confectioners� sugar.
