A decadent and rich dessert that is naturally gluten-free, made with chocolate, eggs, and sugar.
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate roughly chopped
- 100 grams unsalted butter cubed
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs separated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla until pale and thick. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.
- In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture in three additions.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft.
- Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Serve the torte with a dusting of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
