Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your torte. Choose a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao content for a rich, intense flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense torte. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the torte before serving: Chilling the torte for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will allow the flavors to meld and the torte to set properly.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the torte: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of torte.
