Torte

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Torte

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

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until well combined. Add the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  4. 4

    Sift in the cocoa powder and mix until just combined.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
