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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces high-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 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 and let cool slightly.
  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 fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract. The batter will be thick.
  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. Do not overbake for a fudgy texture.
  7. Let the torte cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. The center will sink slightly as it cools.
  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 torte up to three days ahead and store it, covered, in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
  • For an even richer flavor, use chocolate with 70% cacao content or higher.
  • This torte pairs well with a simple chocolate ganache topping if you want extra decadence.
