Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Parchment or foil
  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • Microwave safe bowl
  • Spatula
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 6 eggs
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar plus additional to dust as decoration
  • Berries to serve

Instructions

Prep the pan

  • Line a 9-inch springform pan with foil or parchment so it sits flat against the bottom and sides. Lightly spray so the torte releases cleanly after cooling.

Melt chocolate and butter

  • Microwave in short bursts, stirring each time, until glossy and smooth. Let it cool until it feels neutral to the touch so it won’t scramble the eggs.

Separate eggs

  • Whites in the mixer bowl, yolks in a separate bowl. Keep whites free from any yolk so they whip properly.

Whip egg whites

  • Beat to soft peaks, then slowly add about half the sugar. Continue until the whites look glossy and hold stiff peaks.

Whip yolks and sugar

  • Beat remaining sugar into yolks until pale and slightly thick, like it falls back in slow ribbons.

Combine chocolate and yolks

  • Mix cooled chocolate-butter into yolks until uniform and silky.

Fold in whites

  • Fold in half the whites to lighten, then fold in the rest gently until no white streaks remain.

Bake

  • Spread batter evenly. Bake until the top rises and cracks and the center still gives slightly under light touch.

Cool and finish

  • Cool fully in the pan (it will sink). Remove ring, dust with powdered sugar, serve with berries.
