Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Bittersweet chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 5 whole Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat the mixture on high speed for about 5 minutes until it is thick and pale.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs and sugar, ensuring it is well incorporated.
Add the almond flour to the chocolate mixture and fold gently until no streaks remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the torte in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still appears slightly soft.
Remove the torte from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before releasing the springform ring.
Once completely cooled, dust the top with cocoa powder before serving.
Slice and enjoy a small piece of this decadent gluten-free chocolate torte!
