Ingredients
Cake
- 1 pound semi-sweet chocolate good quality
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 6 egg whites
- pinch salt
- cocoa powder for topping
Berry Topping
- 2 cups frozen mixed berries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of a 9 inch springform pan.
- Use an electric mixer on medium-low speed to beat egg whites and salt until they just start to foam, about 20 seconds. Set aside.
- In a double boiler over medium heat, melt butter and chocolate. Stir constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and whisk in sugar and egg yolks.
- Fold in egg whites until just incorporated. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 37-40 minutes (middle of torte should no longer look wet).
- Let cool completely before removing sides of pan.
- Once cooled and removed from pan, sift cocoa powder over top of torte.
Berry Topping
- In a small sauce pan over medium-high heat, stir together berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring very frequently, using spoon to squish berries.
- Next, w continuously stirring, add cornstarch. Continue to stir and cook until mixture has thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Serve over torte.
Notes
- If you do not have a double boiler, you can heat the chocolate chips in microwave safe bowl on 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until chocolate is smooth.
- I use Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate.
