Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 250 grams dark chocolate
- 4 eggs
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 100 milliliters milk
- 100 grams chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round springform pan with butter. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then add the dark chocolate (chopped into small pieces). Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring constantly until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in thirds, alternating with the milk, mixing gently to avoid overworking the batter.
Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs (do not overbake as the torte is meant to be slightly fudgy).
While the torte is baking, prepare the topping. In a small saucepan, gently heat the sweetened condensed milk over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens into a caramel-like consistency, about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
Once the torte is done baking, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it from the springform. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Spread the thickened condensed milk evenly over the top of the cooled torte. Dust with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.
Slice and serve at room temperature. Enjoy your Brazilian Torte with a cup of strong coffee or tea!
