Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Dark chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa, soy-free)
- 180 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 5 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt it together with the butter in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in the sugar until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Fold in the almond flour until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft and jiggly. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the torte to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.
Dust the torte with cocoa powder and powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this decadent treat with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
