Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugar and Eggs

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and slightly thickened. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing well.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently until fully combined.

  5. 5

    Bake the Torte

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges look set and the center is slightly soft.

  6. 6

    Cool and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert onto a plate, remove the parchment paper, and allow to cool completely before serving. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream if desired.
