Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt with the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and doubled in volume, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the egg mixture, and gently fold until just combined.
Pour in the melted chocolate mixture and fold gently until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the torte to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, remove from the pan and transfer to a serving platter.
Dust the top with powdered sugar. Whip the cream until soft peaks form and serve alongside the torte.
Garnish with fresh berries before serving.
