Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (170°C). Toast the almonds on a baking sheet until lightly golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Cool, then puree in a food processor.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in a double boiler in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Stir the chocolate until smooth. Remove from the boiler and cool slightly.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a 22cm springform pan and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Set aside 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Beat 6 egg yolks and the remaining sugar with a mixer until pale, about 3 minutes. Beat the orange zest, rum, and salt into the melted chocolate. Stir in the almonds.
In a clean bowl, beat 3 egg whites until fluffy. Gradually beat in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Pour over the chocolate mixture and stir. Smooth the batter into the pan. - Bake the chocolate almond cake for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes.
- Run a knife around the pan and release the cake. Serve slightly warm, dusted with powdered sugar. If desired, garnish each serving with whipped cream.
