Ingredients

• 340 grams Bittersweet chocolate (chopped, 60-70% cocoa)
• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder
• 1 tablespoon Hot water
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 6 large Eggs (room temperature)
• 240 ml Heavy cream
• 30 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, dissolve the instant espresso powder in the hot water. Stir in vanilla extract and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, espresso mixture, and the melted chocolate mixture until smooth.

Step 5

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the batter is glossy and fully combined.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top has formed a thin crust.

Step 7

Remove the torte from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then remove the outer ring of the springform pan. Let the torte cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

Once the torte has cooled, prepare the mocha mousse topping. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Step 9

Add the powdered sugar to the whipped cream and beat until stiff peaks form.

Step 10

Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the torte. Dust lightly with cocoa powder for garnish.

Step 11

Chill the torte in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Slice and serve cold.
