Ingredients
  • ¾ cup butter
  • 1 cup dark chocolate, broken into squares
  • 5 large eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond meal
  • 4 tablespoons cocoa powder
Directions
  1. Grease and line a springform or loose-bottomed 8-inch cake pan and preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Add the butter and chocolate to a heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second bursts until melted. Set aside to cool.
  3. Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl of an electric stand mixer with a whisk attachment fitted. Beat on a medium speed until pale, frothy, and thickened (about 5 to 8 minutes).
  4. Pour in the melted chocolate/butter and gently fold until combined.
  5. Sift in the almond meal and cocoa powder. Gently fold again to combine. You want to aim not to knock too much air out of the mixture.
  6. Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. There will be a crust formed all over the top with a very slight wobble in the middle when it's done.
  7. Leave in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Optionally dust the torte with powdered sugar and slice it up to serve.
