Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a round, removable-bottom cake pan. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and roast them for 7 – 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until they turn golden and fragrant. Remove from the oven and let cool. Change the temperature to 188°C. In a food processor, grind the walnuts with the flour. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, stirring occasionally until it begins to melt. Remove from heat and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Add the butter, sugar, and salt. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the butter is completely melted and the mixture has thickened.
