Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and then line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt the mixture using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.

Step 4

Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Let the mixture cool slightly before adding the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Sift the cocoa powder and salt together directly over the chocolate mixture, then fold in gently with a spatula until just combined.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a skewer inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Allow the torte to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Once cooled, release the springform pan and carefully lift the torte out using the parchment paper base.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the top of the torte with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
