Prepare the Cake
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water or in the microwave, stirring until smooth.

Mix the Batter
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from heat and stir in granulated sugar until dissolved. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and cocoa powder until fully combined.

Bake the Torte
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Cool and Serve
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Serve slices of the torte topped with mixed berries and a dollop of whipped cream, garnished with mint leaves.
