Torte Ingredients
Method
Torte Preparation
Melt the Chocolate
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
Mix the Batter
Remove the bowl from heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the granulated sugar until fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Bake the Torte
Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch round cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the center is still slightly soft. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve
Once completely cooled, slice the torte and serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream on top.
