Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% or higher)
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 grams Chestnut puree (unsweetened)
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch springform or round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Roughly chop the dark chocolate and melt it with the unsalted butter using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, making sure it is fully incorporated.
Add the chestnut puree, vanilla extract, and salt to the batter. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the torte is set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Let the torte cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before carefully removing it from the pan.
Dust the torte with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Serve slices at room temperature or slightly warmed, accompanied by whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate, if preferred.
