Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (chopped)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 450 grams fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 30 grams chocolate shavings or curls (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chopped dark chocolate together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined and glossy.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownie layer cool completely in the pan before carefully turning it out onto a serving plate.
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip to avoid curdling.
Spread an even layer of whipped cream over the cooled brownie base. Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream. Repeat with another layer of whipped cream and strawberries if desired.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls on top for an elegant finish.
Refrigerate the torte for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together.
Slice and serve the Strawberry Brownie Torte chilled. Enjoy the compliments from your guests!
