Make this intensely rich and fudgy flourless chocolate torte. This elegant dessert delivers deep chocolate flavor and a dense, velvety texture, perfect for special occasions and naturally gluten-free.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (60-70% cacao), chopped
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, plus extra for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Place the chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or use a microwave in 30-second intervals). Stir until completely smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gently whisk the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture until just combined.
  5. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff peaks form. You want firm, glossy peaks.
  6. Gently fold one-third of the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Then, gently fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain. Do not overmix; you want to keep the air in the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center will still look slightly soft.
  9. Let the torte cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. It will sink slightly as it cools, which is normal for this decadent chocolate dessert.
  10. Once cool, carefully run a thin knife around the edge before releasing the springform side. Dust the top generously with cocoa powder before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For the best texture, chill the torte for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. This makes slicing easier.
  • If you prefer a sweeter topping, substitute the cocoa powder dusting with powdered sugar.
  • This naturally gluten free cake tastes even better the next day, making it a great make ahead chocolate dessert.
