Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams dark chocolate (chopped)
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar (packed)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 240 ml heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 450 grams fresh strawberries (sliced)
- 30 grams chocolate shavings or curls (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2
In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and chopped dark chocolate together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined and glossy.
Step 4
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 6
Let the brownie layer cool completely in the pan before carefully turning it out onto a serving plate.
Step 7
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip to avoid curdling.
Step 8
Spread an even layer of whipped cream over the cooled brownie base. Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream. Repeat with another layer of whipped cream and strawberries if desired.
Step 9
Garnish with chocolate shavings or curls on top for an elegant finish.
Step 10
Refrigerate the torte for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together.
Step 11
Slice and serve the Strawberry Brownie Torte chilled. Enjoy the compliments from your guests!
