Torte Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the 54% dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mix Sugar and Eggs

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture is light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the egg and sugar mixture, stirring gently to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Dry Ingredients

    Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa nibs, and a pinch of salt into the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until just combined.

  5. 5

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Bake the Torte

    Pour the torte batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Once cooled, garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
