Ingredients

• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 300 grams Dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa)
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 5 Large eggs
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized heatproof bowl, add the unsalted butter and dark chocolate. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl does not touch the water. Stir occasionally until both the butter and chocolate are melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from heat.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the batter is smooth and glossy.

Step 5

Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, folding gently with a spatula until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is soft but not liquid when a toothpick is inserted. Be careful not to overbake as the torte should remain moist.

Step 8

Allow the torte to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and gently turn the torte onto the rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the torte to a serving plate. Dust the top lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
