Torte Ingredients
Method
Torte Directions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a double boiler, melt the semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and eggs. Whisk together until pale and fluffy.
Combine Ingredients
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, and stir until well combined. Add flour, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing just until incorporated.
Bake the Torte
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve
Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with whipped cream.
