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:

  1. 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.
  2. Combine the eggs, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Gently fold half of the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined, then gently fold in the rest.
  4. 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.
  5. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan.
  6. Remove the springform ring and transfer to a platter; dust with cocoa powder or powdered sugar or coat with ganache. Garnish with berries.
