Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20 cm (8-inch) round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring constantly, until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the whisked sugar and eggs, stirring gently to combine.
Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl, then add the vanilla extract and salt. Fold the mixture gently using a spatula until no streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
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 and the center is slightly wobbly when the pan is gently shaken.
Remove the torte from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, then carefully release the springform rim.
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired, alongside whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
