Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

FOR THE TORTE:
1 box ghirardelli triple chocolate brownie mix (see photo below)
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
FOR THE CHOCOLATE FUDGE TOPPING:
1 cup ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup whipping cream, unwhipped

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • 2. For Torte: In medium bowl, combine brownie mix, water, oil, and egg until blended. Spoon batter into parchment-lined (bottom only, sides greased) or well greased 9" round cake pan. Bake 45-50 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and invert onto serving plate.
  • 3. For Chocolate Fudge Topping: Place chocolate chips in small bowl. Heat whipping cream to just under boiling and pour over chocolate chips. Stir until chocolate chips have melted and mixture is smooth. Spread warm topping over top and sides of torte. Chill until set. Store in refrigerator.
  • 4. Garnish with fresh raspberries and/or thinned raspberry jam on plate when serving. Left over whipping cream, whipped, and chocolate shavings are always a welcome addition! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the brownies will be. Use a good quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the brownies bake evenly.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
