Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 20 cm (8-inch) round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring constantly, until smooth and combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture into the whisked sugar and eggs, stirring gently to combine.
Step 5
Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the bowl, then add the vanilla extract and salt. Fold the mixture gently using a spatula until no streaks remain, being careful not to overmix.
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 and the center is slightly wobbly when the pan is gently shaken.
Step 8
Remove the torte from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the pan, then carefully release the springform rim.
Step 9
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar if desired, alongside whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
