Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups blanched, sliced almonds
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced, plus more for greasing
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs, separated, plus 3 egg yolks
Grated zest of 1 orange
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish
Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toast the almonds on a baking sheet until lightly golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Cool slightly, then pulse in a food processor until finely ground, but not pasty.
  • Melt 12 tablespoons butter and the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Stir until the chocolate is smooth, then remove from the heat and cool slightly. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with butter and coat with the breadcrumbs, tapping out the excess.
  • Set aside 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Combine the 6 egg yolks and the remaining sugar in a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on medium-high until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Add the orange zest, rum and salt, then beat in the melted chocolate until smooth. Mix in the ground almonds until just combined.
  • In a clean bowl, beat the 3 egg whites with a mixer until foamy. Gradually beat in the reserved 2 tablespoons granulated sugar on high speed until almost stiff. Stir one-third of the whites into the chocolate batter, then gently fold in the rest. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until the top is firm and cracked (a toothpick inserted into the cake will be fudgy), 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pan and remove the ring. Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with confectioners' sugar and whipped cream, if desired.

PASSOVER CHOCOLATE TORTE



Passover Chocolate Torte image

Passover recipes are always full of beaten egg whites. The first few Passovers I was married I didn't have an electric mixer kosher for Passover, and I would beat those egg whites by hand. It gave me a really good workout each year, considering how many egg whites you can beat over the 7/8 day holiday. After a few years I got smart and finally bought an electric mixer. I stopped getting my workout, and started baking more cakes. I always gain weight over the holiday, sigh...

½ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting, or as needed
2 (8 ounce) packages semi-sweet chocolate squares, coarsely chopped
½ cup butter
5 large eggs, separated
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup chocolate chips
¼ cup crushed almonds
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed
½ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust with 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder.
  • Melt chopped chocolate squares and butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Whisk egg yolks and vanilla extract together in a large bowl.
  • Gradually whisk chocolate and butter mixture into egg yolk mixture until well blended.
  • Beat egg whites in a separate bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat sugar into egg whites until sugar dissolves and egg whites hold stiff peaks.

Tips:

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the torte tough.

  • Let the torte cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until they are finely ground.
