Ingredients

• 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% or higher)
• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 250 grams Chestnut puree (unsweetened)
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch springform or round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

Roughly chop the dark chocolate and melt it with the unsalted butter using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the melted chocolate and butter mixture, making sure it is fully incorporated.

Step 5

Add the chestnut puree, vanilla extract, and salt to the batter. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the torte is set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Let the torte cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before carefully removing it from the pan.

Step 9

Dust the torte with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Step 10

Serve slices at room temperature or slightly warmed, accompanied by whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate, if preferred.
