Place chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl and stir over simmering water until melted. Allow chocolate to cool until warm.

Fold 1/3 of whites into chocolate mixture until blended, then gently fold in remaining whites. Fold in remaining almond mixture until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until cake is firm to the touch, about 45-50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to completely cool.
