1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan.
2
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a double boiler or microwave, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth. Stir and let it cool slightly.
3
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
4
Combine Mixtures
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture, stirring continuously to combine.
5
Add Flour and Flavorings
Sift in the all-purpose flour and add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Fold gently until just combined.
6
Bake the Torte
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
7
Cool and Serve
Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
