Torte Preparation
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a double boiler until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Combine Ingredients
Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then gently fold in the flour and vanilla extract until just combined.
Bake the Torte
Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round cake pan and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
