Equipment

  • Springform pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Large Glass Bowl
  • Electric mixer 
  • Rubber spatula
  • Wire rack

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz DARK CHOCOLATE
  • 1/2 cup UNSALTED BUTTER
  • 6 large EGGS
  • 1 cup GRANULATED SUGAR
  • 1/2 cup COCOA POWDER
  • 1 tsp VANILLA EXTRACT
  • 1/4 tsp SALT

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees now. Grease your springform pan with a little butter. Line the bottom with a circle of parchment paper.
  • Chop your dark chocolate into very small pieces. Put the chocolate and butter in a glass bowl. Melt them slowly over a pot of simmering water.
  • Stir the chocolate mixture until it is very smooth. Take the bowl off the heat to cool slightly. Do not let it get cold or hard.
  • Place your eggs and sugar in a large bowl. Use your mixer to beat them on high speed. The mix should look pale and very thick.
  • Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture slowly. Use your spatula to fold them together very gently. Do not pop the air bubbles in the eggs.
  • Sift the cocoa powder into the chocolate batter now. Add the vanilla extract and the pinch of salt. Fold again until you see no more dry powder.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan carefully. Smooth the top with the back of your spoon. Tap the pan on the counter to remove bubbles.
  • Bake the torte for about thirty-five minutes. The edges should look firm and the center soft. Do not overbake this delicate chocolate cake.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan completely. Remove the sides of the pan very slowly. Dust the top with extra cocoa powder for beauty.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the very best flavor.
  • Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before starting.
  • Fold the batter gently so the cake stays light.
  • Do not open the oven door while the cake bakes.
  • Check the cake five minutes before the timer ends.
  • Let the cake cool fully before you try to slice.
  • Use a hot knife to get very clean cake slices.
