Directions

I cut this out of a magazine years ago, but never made it. Hope it's good.

Melt butter in medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in cocoa and ¾ cup sugar; blend until smooth. Remove from heat; cool 5 min. Blend in almonds and flour. Beat in egg yolks, one at a time. Stir in water. In medium bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add remaining sugar, beating just until soft peaks form. Gently fold chocolate mixture into egg whites, blending thoroughly. Pour into greased and floured 9" layer pan. Bake at 350 for 30 min. or until tester comes out clean. Cool 10 min. ( Cake will settle slightly.) Remove from pan onto wire rack. Cool completely. Invert cake onto serving plate. Spread top and sides with chocolate glaze.
