Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz bittersweet chocolate (70% cacao), chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the raspberry coulis:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Optional:
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour (replace 2 tablespoons sugar for nuttier texture)
  • Dark cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate and softened butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Separate the eggs into yolks and whites, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites.
  4. Whisk the egg yolks with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until pale and creamy. Slowly stir in the melted chocolate mixture until combined.
  5. Using an electric mixer, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whites in two additions using slow, sweeping motions.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and tap lightly to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.
  9. Cool the torte in the pan on a wire rack for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  10. To make the raspberry coulis, combine raspberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until raspberries break down and sauce thickens (8-10 minutes). Strain through a fine sieve and let cool.
  11. Serve slices of the torte with a drizzle of raspberry coulis and dust with cocoa powder if desired.

Notes

Ensure bowls are grease-free and dry before whipping egg whites to achieve stiff peaks. Fold egg whites gently to maintain airiness. Do not overbake; the center should jiggle slightly when done. Use good quality bittersweet chocolate for best flavor. Adjust raspberry coulis thickness by adding water or simmering longer as needed. Chill torte for at least 2 hours before serving for best texture.
