YUMMY! Very rich so a small piece does it (but my tastebuds and mind have to be contained!) I will keep this for special decadence desserts. I try to avoid flour and this recipe does that.
Only bake for the total of 15 minutes as indicated. The torte will firm up as it cools. Over baking will result in a dry torte.
Made this torte and was the easiest receipe. Might try with milk chocolate next time.
I will make it again for a large function because this is a lot of chocolate for a family of 4! Very very rich as another reviewer mentioned so it will feed a LOT of ppl sliced thinly. And it was very easy to make!!!
Easy, few ingredients and delicious. I followed instructions and it came out perfect. I refrigerated it overnight and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes before serving and it sliced easily/clean and everyone loved it, even our friends daughter who doesn’t like much of anything.
The torte came out perfect. Since I couldn t find my spring pan I used a low sided 9 round and cut parchment paper to fit the bottom and a strip for around the inside of the pan. I followed the advice of another reviewer to make sure I didn t bake for more than the total 15 minutes. Made all the difference from the first time I made. The parchment on the sides made for nice smooth side and the edges didn t crumble. Great recipe! My guests loved it!
I made this as my daughter’s birthday cake because she is gluten intolerant. She loved it and said it was better than a chocolate torte we purchased at s local bakery! One caution I would give is to break all 6 eggs in a bowl BEFORE putting the bowl above the simmering water. I made the mistake of breaking each egg into the bowl as it was already over the water, and it was very hot. My first egg actually started to cook! I have a springform pan with a glass bottom, so the cake doesn’t have to be transferred to a plate; therefore, I didn’t follow the recipe for lining the pan.
I made this for my daughter's birthday as she is gluten intolerant. She says it is her new favorite cake. I did find that t has to bake a lot longer than indicated(the recipe says 5 minutes uncovered then 10 minutes covered). It has to bake for more like 40 minutes.
