    | 1. Heat oven to 180C / gas 4. Butter and line a loose-bottom 20 cm sandwich tin, then butter again and dust with flour. | 2. Put the chocolate and Amaretto in a bowl over a pan of steaming water, do not let the bowl touch the water, and leave to melt. Remove from the heat, stir and cool. | 3. Put the butter and 110g caster sugar in a bowl and using a wooden spoon or a mixer, beat until very light and fluffy. | 4. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the cooled chocolate. | 5. When thoroughly blended fold in the crushed biscuits and flour with a metal spoon. | 6. Put the egg whites into a clean, grease free bowl and whisk until stiff peaks form. | 7. Whisk in the remaining tbsp of sugar to make a stiff, glossy meringue; then fold into the cake mixture in 3 batches. | 8. Transfer the mixture to the prepared tin, then bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until just firm to the touch. | 9. Let the torta cool in the tin for 10 minutes then remove from the tin and transfer to a wire rack to cool. | 10. Dust with icing sugar and serve slightly warm or at room temperature with whipped cream and fresh berries. (I think a good home-made vanilla ice cream would be good with it). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
