French Chocolate Tart

5.5 ounces of chocolate

4.5 Tbsp. butter

3 eggs

1 pinch salt

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup cream

3 Tbsp. flour

½ tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. of oil

1 Tbsp. breadcrumbs

Powdered sugar

Crumble the chocolate, and together with the butter melt it in a small saucepan.
Place to one side, and allow to cool.
Separate the eggs. Beat the whites together with the salt and half of the sugar until stiff.
Stir the yolks and the remaining sugar, cream, butter and chocolate mixture until light and fluffy.
Stir in the flour mixed with baking powder, creating a dough.
Place the beaten egg whites on the dough, and carefully fold in.
Brush a non-stick coated round pan (12 inches in diameter) with oil, then cover with breadcrumbs.
Place the dough in the pan, cover with a suitable lid. Bake 20-30 minutes at 175 degrees.
When a wooden pick inserted in the dough comes out clean, the tart is done and can be tipped onto a plate.
Dust with powdered sugar. The tart is best served warm.
