Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 30 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Grated apple (peeled and cored)
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until smooth, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 3–4 minutes.
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture until fully combined.
Sift the cocoa powder into the bowl, add the vanilla extract, and gently fold to incorporate without deflating the batter.
Fold in the grated apple to add natural moisture and sweetness to the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is just set but still slightly fudgy. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and let the torte cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully release the springform and transfer the torte to a wire rack to cool completely.
Before serving, dust the torte with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
