Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter or margarine, cut into small pieces, plus more for the pan
12 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
6 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter the bottom and side of a 9-inch springform pan. Combine the chocolate and 1 1/2 sticks butter in a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water) and stir until melted and combined. Remove the bowl from the saucepan and let cool slightly.
  • Combine the eggs, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and thick, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Gently fold half of the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined, then gently fold in the rest. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the top is no longer shiny and barely jiggles and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few crumbs, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan. Remove the springform ring and transfer to a platter; dust with cocoa powder.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

16 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup butter
5 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Grease a springform pan; dust with cocoa. Line bottom with kitchen parchment.
  • In 2 qt saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate with butter.
  • In large bowl, with wire whisk beat egg yolks and vanilla.
  • Slowly beat warm chocolate mixture into yolk mixture until blended.
  • In small bowl with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually beat in 1/4 cup powdered sugar until sugar dissolves and whites stand in stiff peaks.
  • Fold beaten egg whites into chocolate mixture, one third at a time.
  • Spoon batter into pan spreading evenly.
  • Bake torte 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out almost clean.
  • Cool torte in pan.
  • When torte is cool, remove side of pan then remove torte from pan bottom; discard parchment.
  • Cut torte in 12 wedges. Sprinkle 6 wedges with cocoa, remaining 6 wedges with confectioners sugar.
  • Arrange wedges alternately on cake plate.

Tips:

  • To ensure the smoothest possible texture, make sure the chocolate is melted slowly and evenly. Microwaving the chocolate in short bursts, stirring in between, is a great way to achieve this.
  • When whipping the egg whites, gradually increase the speed of the mixer to achieve stiff peaks. This will help incorporate air into the meringue, making it light and fluffy.
  • When folding the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture, do so gently to avoid deflating the meringue. Use a spatula and work in small batches until the ingredients are combined.
  • To achieve a perfectly smooth and shiny ganache, make sure the cream is heated just until it simmers. Do not boil the cream, as this can cause the ganache to seize.
  • When assembling the torte, place each layer on top of a sheet of parchment paper. This will make it easier to transfer the layers to the serving platter without breaking them.

Conclusion:

The Chocolate Passion Torte is a stunning and delicious dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, creamy ganache filling, and tangy passion fruit glaze, this torte is sure to impress your guests. While it may seem like a challenging recipe, it is actually quite simple to make. Just follow the steps carefully and you will be rewarded with a truly unforgettable dessert.
