Categories     Chocolate     Dairy     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Hazelnut     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 14

For torte
6 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1 cup hazelnuts (about 4 ounces)
2/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
5 large eggs, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter an 8 1/2-inch springform pan and line bottom with a round of wax paper. Butter paper and dust pan with flour, knocking out excess.
For glaze
6 ounce fine-quality bittersweet chocolate (not unsweetened), chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
Garnish: finely chopped toasted hazelnuts
Accompaniment: whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Make torte:
  • In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth, and cool.
  • Spread hazelnuts in a shallow baking pan and toast in oven until they begin to turn pale golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Cool hazelnuts completely. Discard any hazelnut skins that rub off easily and transfer nuts to food processor. Add 3 tablespoons sugar and grind mixture fine.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and remaining 2/3 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and beat in vanilla, salt, and melted chocolate. Beat in hazelnut mixture until combined well.
  • In another large bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites with a pinch salt until they just hold stiff peaks. Whisk about one-fourth whites into chocolate mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Spread batter evenly in springform pan and bake in middle of oven 45 to 55 minutes, or until a tester comes out with crumbs adhering. Cool torte completely in pan on a rack and remove side of pan. Invert torte onto a serving plate and discard wax paper.
  • Make glaze:
  • Put chocolate in a small metal bowl. In a small saucepan bring cream to a boil and pour over chocolate. Stir glaze just until completely smooth and let stand until thickened slightly, about 20 minutes.
  • Spread glaze evenly over top and side of torte. With a small icing spatula or butter knife make parallel lines through glaze across top to create a design. Garnish top and bottom edge of torte with chopped hazelnuts and let torte stand until glaze is set, about 2 hours.
  • Serve torte with whipped cream or ice cream.

Tips:

  • To ensure the smoothest texture, use a fine-mesh strainer to sift the dry ingredients (cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder) before mixing them into the wet ingredients.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a dense, chewy torte. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • To prevent the torte from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
  • If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a regular 9-inch round cake pan. Just be sure to line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper so that the torte doesn't stick.
  • Let the torte cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
  • Serve the torte with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

This chocolate hazelnut pudding torte is a decadent and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich chocolate flavor is perfectly complemented by the creamy hazelnut pudding filling. The torte is easy to make and can be prepared in advance, making it a great option for busy cooks. Whether you are serving it to guests or enjoying it yourself, this torte is sure to be a hit.
