Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs, separated
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0 whipped cream, for serving
- 0 cocoa powder, for dusting
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture, then add the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the chocolate mixture and fold gently until just combined.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Step 6
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate batter in three additions, making sure not to deflate the mixture.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 9
Allow the torte to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge to loosen it and remove the springform ring.
Step 10
Let the torte cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with cocoa powder and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
