Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

Yield Serves 8 to 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

Frosting
10 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted pareve margarine, diced
3 large eggs, beaten to blend
1/2 cup liquid nondairy creamer
Pinch of coarse salt
Cake
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons matzo cake meal
2 tablespoons potato starch
5 large eggs, separated
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup liquid nondairy creamer
Chocolate shavings (optional)
Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • For Frosting:
  • Combine all ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth and just begins to bubble, about 8 minutes. Refrigerate until just thick enough to spread, stirring occasionally, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, prepare cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 15 1/2x10 1/2x1-inch baking sheet with foil, leaving overhang. Grease foil. Sift 1/2 cup sugar, cocoa powder, cake meal and potato starch into medium bowl.
  • Combine egg whites and salt in large bowl. Using handheld electric mixer, beat whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar; beat until stiff but not dry. Using same beaters, beat yolks and 1/2 cup sugar in another large bowl until thick, about 2 minutes. Gradually beat in oil, then nondairy creamer. Add dry ingredients; beat just until blended. Fold whites into yolk mixture in 3 additions.
  • Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake until tester inserted into center comes out dry and cake feels firm to touch, about 20 minutes. Cool cake in pan on rack. Freeze cake just until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Using foil as aid, lift cake onto work surface. Cut cake crosswise into 3 rectangles, each about 5x10 inches. Slide large spatula under 1 cake rectangle; transfer to platter. Spread 2/3 cup frosting over. Top with second layer. Spread 2/3 cup frosting over. Top with third layer. Spread very thin layer of frosting over top and sides of cake to coat thinly and anchor crumbs. Refrigerate 15 minutes to set thin coat of frosting. Spread remaining frosting decoratively over cake. Refrigerate until cold, about 4 hours. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover loosely with foil; keep refrigerated.)
  • Cover top of cake with chocolate shavings and garnish with mint, if desired. Cut crosswise into slices and serve.

CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE CAKE



Chocolate Indulgence Cake image

This is the easiest, yet most impressive dessert I have come across. It is so beautiful by the end that you almost don't want to cut it...until you taste a slice! I substituted Semi-Sweet chocolate for the Bittersweet, and it tasted just as good. Also, I had to bake this an extra 5 or 10 minutes.

Indulgent Chocolate Torte Recipe: Tips and Conclusion

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the final flavor of your torte. Look for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a rich, deep flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dry torte. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the torte in a water bath. This will help to prevent the torte from cracking and will also result in a more evenly baked cake.
  • Let the torte cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the torte to set properly.
  • Serve the torte with your favorite toppings. Some popular choices include whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.

Conclusion:

With its rich, decadent flavor and velvety smooth texture, this indulgent chocolate torte is sure to be a hit at your next special occasion. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
