My birthday cake

Yesterday I turned 32 and yes, I baked my own birthday cake, a Caprese! This cake was made for the first time on the island of Capri and it was the result of a mistake because the chef forgot to add flour and so the  recipe is suitable for all gluten free diet followers.
 
200 gr dark chocolate
180 gr butter
200 gr almonds
5 eggs
100 gr sugar
50 gr brown sugar
1 tsp coffee powder
 
Melt dark chocolate and butter and let them cool aside. Roast almonds and mix them roughly.
 
Wisk egg whites till soft. In another bowl mix the yolks and sugar till a soft cream. Add chocolate and butter and the almond afterwards, then add the tsp of coffee powder. Fold the egg whites in gently.
 
Put in a preheated oven to 180° for 35 min.
