Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Separate the whites from the yolks of 5 eggs. Beat the egg whites with a tablespoon of sugar until stiff peaks form. Mix the yolks, the whole egg, and the sugar until they double in volume and turn a pale yellow color. Add the melted chocolate along with the powder and almond extract. Incorporate one third of the beaten egg whites to soften the mixture. Gently fold in the remaining beaten egg whites. Pour into two pans previously lined with parchment paper. Bake for 45 minutes. For the ganache, heat the heavy cream without letting it boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes. Mix until you achieve a homogeneous consistency, let it set for 1 hour. Spread a light layer of ganache over one of the cakes. Cut some strawberries in half and distribute them on top of the cake. Place the other cake on top and cover the rest of the cake with ganache. Place some whole strawberries on top for decoration. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave and using a cone of wax paper, drizzle it over the cake.
