Flourless chocolate torte

The Flourless Chocolate Torte is a rich, decadent dessert that is perfect for special occasions or when you want to indulge in a treat. This gluten-free torte is made with dark chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs, and a hint of cinnamon, creating a luscious and velvety texture that melts in your mouth. By following these simple steps, you can create a sophisticated dessert that will impress your guests and satisfy your chocolate cravings.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
220g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
4 eggs
200g
1 cup sugar
200g

Instructions:

1. Melt Butter and Chocolate:
In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and dark chocolate. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and stir frequently until both are melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can microwave the mixture in short bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and combined.
2. Cool Slightly:
Remove the butter and chocolate mixture from heat and let it cool slightly for a few minutes to prevent cooking the eggs when they are added.
3. Beat Eggs and Sugar:
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is pale and has increased in volume, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Combine Mixtures:
Gradually fold the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add a little at a time, folding gently to maintain the volume.
5. Add Cinnamon:
Fold in the cinnamon until evenly distributed.
6. Pour and Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the torte is just set in the middle. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out mostly clean or with a few moist crumbs.
7. Cool and Serve:
Let the torte cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, run a knife around the edge to loosen and turn it out onto a serving plate. Remove the parchment paper.
8. Optional: Decorate:
Dust the top with powdered sugar or cocoa powder if desired.
9. Serve:
Slice and serve on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips:

- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. Choose chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content.

- Make sure to melt the butter and chocolate gently to avoid burning the chocolate. You can use a double boiler or microwave in short increments, stirring frequently.

- Let the torte cool completely in the pan before removing it to ensure it keeps its shape.

- For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe it with a warm, damp cloth between cuts.

- Store the torte in the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Congratulations, you have successfully made a Flourless Chocolate Torte! With its intense chocolate flavor and smooth, dense texture, this torte is sure to become a favorite. Serve it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries for an elegant presentation. Enjoy your delicious creation and share it with friends and family.
