Total Time 45 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 25 minutes

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or canola)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups cold whipping cream (35%)
1/2 cup icing sugar
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon mint extract (optional)
red food coloring (optional)
2 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons water
1 cup icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • TORTE: Preheat oven to 350°F Grease & flour three 9-inch round baking pans.
  • In large mixer bowl, stir together dry ingredients.
  • Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Beat on medium speed of electric mixer for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water - batter will be thin. Divide batter among prepared pans.
  • Back 20 to 25 minutes, or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans and then remove to wire rack. COOL COMPLETELY.
  • Spread filling between layers reserving 1/2 cup for garnish on top. Spread cocoa glaze over top of torte. Refrigerate. Before serving, garnish with reserved filling. Keep refrigerated after serving.
  • FILLING: In small mixer bowl, beat whipping cream and icing sugar until stiff.
  • Fold in vanilla until evenly blended.
  • If desired, fold in mint extract and red food colouring. This makes a nice touch for the Christmas season.
  • COCOA GLAZE: In small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add cocoa and water, stirring constantly until slightly thickened.
  • Remove from heat. Gradually add icing sugar and vanilla, beating with wire whisk until smooth.
  • Note: if you only have 2 cake pans, reserve the remaining batter in the refrigerator while the first 2 layers bake.

CHOCOLATE TORTE RECIPE | SOUTHERN LIVING



Chocolate Torte Recipe | Southern Living image

High quality dark chocolate is a marvel in itself. Deep in richness, slightly fruity and floral in flavor, and complex in a mouth-coating bitterness that's surprisingly pleasant, it's no wonder that chocolate single-handedly transformed our expectations for pastry over the past two centuries.Rather than muting the intense flavor of chocolate with hefty ingredients like flour and cups of sugar, a Chocolate Torte uses no flour and a small amount of sugar, allowing the chocolate to take center stage in a decadent way. Eggs are whipped for 6 minutes to trap air into their structure before being folded in with the chocolate. The air trapped in the eggs expands dramatically in the oven, and then falls as the cake cools, giving the cake a soft airy texture. Since no flour is used in the recipe, this dessert is inadvertently gluten-free, so you can serve it to almost anyone. Our only note is that you use the highest quality dark chocolate you can find because its flavor will stand out. Lastly, the beauty of this dessert is in its simplicity, so serve it by itself or with a few berries and some freshly whipped cream, but feel no need to embellish with anything more.

Total Time 1 hours 10 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60% cacao or higher), chopped
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces and room temperature
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
6 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup cream
Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter and line the bottom with a 9-inch circle of parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Combine chocolate, butter, and espresso powder over a double boiler. Stir together until fully melted and incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • With the whip attachment on a stand mixer, whip together eggs, sugar, and salt on medium-high until quadrupled in volume, about 6 minutes.
  • Transfer egg mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add half of melted chocolate mixture and gently stir to combine. Add remaining chocolate and fold to fully combine.
  • In stand mixer, beat cream to medium peaks (Note: There's no need to clean the bowl and whisk attachment from the egg mixture). Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Carefully transfer batter to prepared springform pan. Bake until the surface doesn't move when shaken and a toothpick inserted comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Allow to cool completely before removing from pan. Dust with cocoa powder and serve.
