Flourless Chocolate Torte with Chocolate Ganache
Flourless Chocolate Torte
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons or ¾ cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 12 ounces bittersweet or dark chocolate, melted
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Pinch of kosher salt
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter the bottom and side of a 9-inch springform pan. Combine the melted chocolate and 1 1/2 sticks melted butter in mixing bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
- Combine the eggs, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- Gently fold half of the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined, then gently fold in the rest.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top is no longer shiny and barely jiggles and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs, 35 to 45 minutes.
- Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan.
- Remove the springform ring and transfer to a platter; dust with cocoa powder or powdered sugar or coat with ganache. Garnish with berries.
