Pre-heat oven to 180C.
Coarsely chop the chocolate for 5 seconds on speed 8. Set aside.
Coarsely chop the pecans for 3 seconds on speed 7. Set aside in same bowl as chocolate.
Wipe out bowl with paper towel and insert Butterfly. Whip the egg whites and sugar for approximately 2.5 - 3 minutes on speed 4 until fluffy.
Remove Butterfly.
Add the pecans & chocolate and mix for 30 seconds on speed 3 with the aid of the spatula through the lid to help incorporate.
Pour into a greased and lined spring form tin (23cm) and bake for 40-45min.
Top with Chocolate Ganache and decorate with whipped cream & the reserved whole pecans. Serve with whipped cream, ice cream or vanilla custard.
Alternatives

Place Chocolate in TM bowl and grate for 30 seconds on speed 8.
Add cream and cook for 2 minutes at 50 degrees on speed 5.

Valentine - It is a dense cake. Maybe you needed to beat the egg whites & sugar a bit longer...
Mine didn't rise looks more like a slice.... any suggestions?
