Indulge in the rich, decadent flavors of Martha’s flourless chocolate-walnut torte. This gluten-free dessert seamlessly blends dark chocolate, walnuts, and a hint of cocoa to create a luscious treat that’s perfect for any special occasion.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) round springform pan with coconut oil and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Place the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes until they are fragrant and slightly darker. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
- Once cool, finely chop the walnuts and set aside.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), melt the dark chocolate. Stir occasionally until smooth.
- Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each session until it's fully melted and smooth.
- Remove the chocolate from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture is thick, pale, and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and melted chocolate to the egg mixture, and gently fold until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Sift in the cocoa powder and salt over the wet mixture to avoid lumps.
- Gently fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture until everything is just combined.
- Add the chopped toasted walnuts and fold them into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the torte is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the torte from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully run a knife around the edge of the torte to loosen it from the pan, then remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Let the torte cool completely before transferring it to a serving plate.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing; this helps with even blending.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate to enhance the flavor and richness of the torte.
- Line the baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for easy removal.
- Allow the torte to cool completely in the pan before transferring to a wire rack to prevent breaking.
- Dust with cocoa powder or garnish with fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
Martha’s flourless chocolate-walnut torte is a show-stopping dessert that is surprisingly simple to make. With rich, intense chocolate flavor and a delightful nutty undertone, this torte is sure to impress your guests and satisfy any sweet tooth.
