Make this rich, fudgy, gluten-free chocolate torte. It is simple to prepare and perfect for any special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Powdered sugar or fresh raspberries for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (a double boiler). Stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk the granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt into the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until just incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will still be soft and slightly jiggly.
  7. Let the torte cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. The center will sink slightly as it cools, creating a dense texture.
  8. Once cool, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Dust the top with powdered sugar or garnish with fresh raspberries before serving.

Notes

  • You can make this dessert up to three days ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature slightly before serving for the best texture.
  • For an intense dark chocolate torte flavor, use chocolate with 70% cacao or higher.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free.
