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.

Yield Makes one 8 1/2-inch torte

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup unsalted butter, plus more for pan
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for pan and dusting
1 cup currants
1/2 cup whiskey or hot water
1 1/3 cups heavy cream
1 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped
6 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups finely chopped toasted hazelnuts (6 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Butter an 8 1/2-inch springform pan; sprinkle with cocoa, and tap out excess. In a small bowl, combine currants and whiskey or hot water. Let macerate at least 10 minutes or up to 30 minutes. Strain currants in a fine sieve, and discard whiskey.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring cream and butter almost to a boil; making sure all butter is melted. Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl, and pour the cream over to cover. Whisk gently until chocolate is melted and mixture is combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt. Whisk into chocolate mixture, and stir in nuts and currants. Pour mixture into prepared pan.
  • Bake until edges are set and center is still a little soft to the touch, about 2 hours. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill overnight in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator, and dust with cocoa powder.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best results, use high-quality chocolate. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is recommended.
  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure that they blend together smoothly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help prevent the cake from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you are using a store-bought frosting, be sure to let it come to room temperature before using. This will make it easier to spread.
  • Garnish the cake with chopped hazelnuts, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for a finishing touch.

Conclusion:

With its rich chocolate flavor, decadent hazelnut filling, and creamy frosting, Kato's Chocolate Hazelnut Delight Torte is a show-stopping dessert that is sure to impress your guests. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe provides all the necessary steps and tips to help you create this delicious and visually stunning cake.
