Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 300 grams Dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 5 Large eggs
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, add the unsalted butter and dark chocolate. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until both the butter and chocolate are melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from heat.
Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is smooth and glossy.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, folding gently with a spatula until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is soft but not liquid when a toothpick is inserted. Be careful not to overbake as the torte should remain moist.
Allow the torte to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and gently turn the torte onto the rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, transfer the torte to a serving plate. Dust the top lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
