250 sugar (dark and light mixed best)
4 eggs
250gr butter
pinch salt
cinnamon
vanilla
juice of one arange
little cognac or something
1 tea sppon baking powder
ten drops orange water eau de fleur d'oranger

melt butter and chocolate in bain marie, then add the suagr and make sure it's all perfectly mixed and sugar well dissolved
mix flour with vanilla, salt baking powder, mix very well

separate egg yokes from whites

incorporate in melted butter mix one egg yoke at a time with two large spoons of flour mix and mix very well; keep on adding one egg with two spoons of flour until all is mixed.
mix in the cognac

turn on oven 180c°
prepare rectangular tin; paste butter all around (but inside ok...) then sprinkle flour and dust off, then place in freezer.
beat egg white to firm and incorporate them in cake mix gently but well.

put in oven, you can make a long slit on top if you like, I like.
after 20 mn or so lower heat and cook until it's almost dry inside.
once out of oven, make little wholes and pour in the orange juice carefully
only when all cool remove from tin
