Chocolate Torta Recipe

   Prepare the Oven and Pan

   Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

   Melt Chocolate and Butter

   In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

   Combine Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, almond flour, and salt. Add the melted chocolate mixture, vanilla extract, and eggs, and mix until fully incorporated and smooth.

   Bake the Cake

   Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cake has set but is still slightly moist in the center.

5. 5

   Cool and Serve

   Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Serve with whipped cream and chopped almonds on top.
