Beat egg whites in a medium-sized mixing bowl until stiff; about 2 minutes. Beat egg yolks and sugar together in a separate bowl until thick and pale; about 1 minute. Blend in chocolate mixture and stir in ground almonds. Fold beaten whites, 1/3 at a time, into chocolate until no streaks of white remain; transfer into prepared pan.

4
Place an 8-inch baking pan with 1 inch of water in it on the bottom rack of the oven (this will create steam and make the torte more moist).
-
5
Bake torte on center rack in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until sides begin to pull away from pan and top is set in center. Cover the torte loosely with foil for the last 20 minutes of baking. Note: Don't worry if the cake cracks because the top will be on the bottom later.

Bon Appetit's Meatballs
Fry the meatballs in oil and butter--they're great just like that. Or if you are going to add them to a pot of sauce, leave them slightly undercooked so as to not overcook them in the sauce. If you're adding them to the Meat Gravy, put them in about 1 hour before serving.
