Indulgent and decadent chocolate torte for the ultimate chocoholic satisfaction.
Ingredients:
  • 400g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
  • 300ml thickened cream
  • 125g unsalted butter, chopped
  • 80g (1/2 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
  • Melted butter, to grease
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 4.40 gm vanilla essence
  • 100g (1 cup) almond meal
  • 75g (1/2 cup) self-raising flour
  • 20.00 gm cocoa powder
  • Cocoa powder, extra, to dust
  • Whipped cream, to serve
  • Macerated Strawberries (see related recipe), to serve
Instructions:
  • In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate, cream, butter, and sugar. Stir with a metal spoon for 5 minutes until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and let it cool for 5 minutes before using.
  • Preheat your oven to 150°C. Grease a round 22cm cake pan with melted butter and line with non-stick baking paper. In a small bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks, then add them and the vanilla to the chocolate mixture, stirring until combined. Mix in the almond meal, then sift the flour and cocoa over the mixture and stir until well combined.
  • Beat egg whites with an electric beater until soft peaks form. Gently fold a large spoonful into the chocolate mixture until well combined. Then fold in the remaining egg white. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
  • Bake the cake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the surface is firm to the touch. Let it cool in the pan for 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Sprinkle with rich cocoa powder for a decadent finish. Accompany with luscious cream and ripe strawberries.
