Tort Ingredients

Method

Tort Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chocolate

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

  2. 2

    Blend Avocados

    In a blender or food processor, combine the avocados, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Blend until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Add the melted chocolate and coconut oil to the avocado mixture. Blend again until well combined.

  4. 4

    Prepare Baking Pan

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Bake the Tort

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Let the tort cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Serve with brandied black cherry compote.
