Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate finely chopped
  • 150 g unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • 150 g caster sugar
  • 120 g all-purpose flour sifted
  • 250 g fresh raspberries
  • 100 g dark chocolate for topping, melted

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Rubber spatula
  • Springform pan
  • Oven
  • Cooling rack
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Place the finely chopped dark chocolate and melted butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt together over a double boiler or microwave in short bursts until smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly.
  3. Whisk the eggs and caster sugar together in a mixing bowl until the mixture is pale, thick, and slightly doubled in volume, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar batter, combining well with a spatula to keep the mixture airy.
  5. Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, folding gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, gently spread the fresh raspberries over the top, pressing them lightly into the surface of the cake.
  9. Gently melt the remaining dark chocolate until smooth and glossy, then drizzle it evenly over the raspberries and surface of the cake for a shiny finish.
  10. Let the chocolate set for about 15 minutes at room temperature, then slice the torte into wedges. Serve and enjoy the rich, layered flavors with vibrant berries.

Notes

For a more decadent touch, consider adding a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of cocoa powder before serving.
