Ingredients

• 150 grams bittersweet chocolate
• 30 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 60 ml boiling water
• 6 large egg whites
• 3 large egg yolks
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 15 grams powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

Chop the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces and place in a heatproof bowl. Melt it gently over a double boiler. Once melted, set aside.

Step 3

In another small bowl, combine the unsweetened cocoa powder and boiling water, whisking until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add 50 grams of granulated sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the remaining 50 grams of sugar until thick and pale in color. Stir in the melted chocolate, cocoa mixture, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 6

Gently fold the flour and salt into the chocolate mixture. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in one-third of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, maintaining as much volume as possible.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread evenly.

Step 9

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the springform ring and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 11

Once cooled, dust the torte with powdered sugar before serving. Slice into 8 portions and enjoy.
