Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (dairy-free, at least 70% cacao)
• 125 grams Coconut oil
• 100 grams Almond flour
• 20 grams Cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 6 tablespoons Water
• 100 milliliters Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Espresso powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with a little coconut oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for about 10 minutes to thicken. This will act as your egg substitute.

Step 3

Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, and salt.

Step 5

Add the flaxseed mixture, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and espresso powder (if using) to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 7

Transfer the batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.

Step 9

Let the torte cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before removing from the pan.

Step 10

Serve the torte as is, or garnish with fresh fruits and a dusting of cocoa powder or powdered sugar for a beautiful presentation.
