Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark chocolate
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 5 units Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it with the unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Ensure the bowl doesn't touch the water.
Once melted and smooth, remove the chocolate mixture from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is pale and doubles in volume, about 5 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture using a spatula until fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract, and then sift in the flour and salt, folding gently until the batter is just combined without any streaks of flour.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the center of the torte is set and a skewer inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
Before serving, dust the top of the torte with powdered sugar. Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
