Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter
• 170 grams dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
• 200 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100 grams all-purpose flour
• 30 grams cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
• 200 milliliters heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine unsalted butter and dark chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg-sugar mixture, whisking constantly until fully combined.

Step 5

Sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined.

Step 6

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownie layer cool completely in the pan.

Step 7

To prepare the ganache, place semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not boil.

Step 8

Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 9

Once the brownie layer is completely cool, pour the ganache over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.

Step 10

Refrigerate the torte for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set. Remove from the springform pan before serving.

Step 11

Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
