Add the remaining cake flour and gently fold to mix. Finally, add the remaining egg whites and gently fold to incorporate. There shouldn't be any unmixed egg whites..
5. Butter your pan. Preheat oven at 175C fan. Bake cake for 16-min. I choose 15 min to have a fudgey texture. Then, take out the cake and let it sit for 10min. Take out the cake and let it cook completely..
6. Melt the chocolate and butter. Smooth the glaze across the top of the cake first, giving time for the chocolate to somewhat set before smoothing down the sides. Garnish with almonds and serve!.
