The Best Chocolate Souffle Torte image

This is my favorite favorite chocolate dessert! Since you are only using very few ingredients, make sure they are of the best possible quality - it makes a difference, especially the chocolate you use. Serve with whipped cream for extra decadence.

Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

¾ cup unsalted butter
14 ounces high quality dark chocolate (75 to 85% cocoa), chopped
7 large eggs, separated
⅞ cup sugar, divided
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Cut a square piece of parchment paper that is larger than the springform pan. Set it on the bottom of the springform pan and secure the ring on top; the paper will extend outside of the springform pan, which makes it easier to remove the torte after baking. Grease the sides of the springform pan.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until melted. Allow to cool lightly.
  • Beat egg yolks and 1/2 the sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and foamy, about 5 minutes. It is important to beat a lot of air into the egg yolks, so they almost triple in volume.
  • Fold lightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture using a spatula.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy using the electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually add remaining sugar and salt, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
  • Stir 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate batter to thin it out. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites using a spatula. Immediately transfer batter into the prepared springform pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until torte is no longer glossy, 30 to 40 minutes. Be careful not to bake too long, otherwise it will get dry.
  • Cool on a wire rack until completely cool. Unmold carefully, since the torte breaks easily.
