Ingredients
- 225 grams Bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (high quality, 60-70% cocoa)
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for dusting, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
Create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
Step 3
Add the chocolate and butter to the bowl. Heat, stirring occasionally, until both are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 4
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs.
Step 8
Remove the torte from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the edges and remove the springform ring. Allow the torte to cool completely before serving.
Step 9
Dust the top with cocoa powder (if desired) and serve with whipped cream or fresh berries for added flair.
