HEALTHIER FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE TORTE image

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup matzo meal
1/3 cup walnuts
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup grated peeled apple, preferably Delicious
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
8 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine matzo meal and walnuts in a food processor; process until nuts are finely chopped. Spread on a baking sheet and toast until fragrant, 5 to 10 minutes. Let cool. Whisk eggs, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla in a large bowl until blended. Stir in the matzo mixture, apple, cocoa and chocolate. Beat egg whites and salt in large, clean bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed until frothy. Increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks form. Add remaining 1/2 cup sugar 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating until glossy and stiff peaks form. Stir one-quarter of the beaten whites into the batter. Gently fold in remaining whites with a rubber spatula. Scrape the batter into an ungreased 9-inch springform pan, spreading evenly. Tap pan lightly on counter to release air bubbles. Bake torte until top springs back when touched lightly and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. With a knife, loosen edges of torte. Let cool in pan on a wire rack. (Torte will sink in center.) Remove pan sides and place torte on a serving platter. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.

I added a cup of chopped walnuts to the batter. It gave the torte a nice crunchy texture.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted almond flour for the hazelnut flour. It turned out great!

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I would recommend it for experienced bakers only.

I had some trouble getting the torte out of the springform pan. I think I'll try using a different pan next time.

This torte is a bit too rich for my taste, but it's still a delicious dessert. I would recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
