Meanwhile, melt semisweet chocolate and bittersweet chocolate with rum in a measuring cup in the microwave oven or over medium-low heat in a saucepan; stir the warm chocolate into the yolk mixture.

Beat egg whites into stiff, shining peaks, and stir a quarter of them into the yolk mixture. Rapidly and delicately fold in the rest, alternating with sprinklings of almonds and siftings of flour. Turn at once into the prepared pan and bake about 25 minutes, until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
