Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (high quality, 60-70% cocoa)
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
Add the chocolate and butter to the bowl. Heat, stirring occasionally, until both are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the torte from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the edges and remove the springform ring. Allow the torte to cool completely before serving.
Dust the top with cocoa powder (if desired) and serve with whipped cream or fresh berries for added flair.
