Description
A rich, fudgy, and naturally gluten-free chocolate torte made with just a few simple ingredients. It features a dense, velvety texture and is best served chilled with a fresh raspberry coulis.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (225g) High-Quality Dark Chocolate (60-70% cacao), chopped
- ½ cup (113g) Unsalted Butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200g) Granulated Sugar
- 3 Large Eggs, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ cup (50g) Almond Flour, finely ground
- 2 cups (300g) Fresh or Frozen Raspberries (for coulis)
- 2 tablespoons (25g) Granulated Sugar (for coulis)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice (for coulis)
- 2 tablespoons Water (for coulis)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
- Set up a double boiler with a saucepan of simmering water. Melt the chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over the water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar vigorously for 2-3 minutes until pale and slightly fluffy.
- Pour the warm chocolate-butter mixture into the egg-sugar mixture and whisk gently to combine.
- Gently fold in the almond flour and salt using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
- Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then release the springform. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- While the torte cools, combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Blend until smooth, strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, and cool completely.
- Slice the chilled torte and serve with the raspberry coulis drizzled on top.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best results. Do not overbake; the center should jiggle slightly as it sets while cooling. Chilling is essential for clean slicing. The torte can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
