Chocolate Torte

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Chocolate Torte

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

  2. 2

    Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs together until light and fluffy. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until combined.

  4. 4

    Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until just combined.

  5. 5

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

  6. 6

    Make the Raspberry Coulis

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh raspberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice.

  7. 7

    Cook until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds and let cool.

  8. 8

    Serve the Torte

    Slice the cooled chocolate torte and serve with a drizzle of raspberry coulis.
