Equipment

mixing bowl
Springform pan
Hand mixer

Ingredients

1 cup butter + 2 TB
9 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate
6 large eggs separated
1/2 cup almond meal
2/3 cup super fine sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter a 10-inch springform cake pan and set aside.
In a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, melt butter and chocolate together. Stir until combined. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale and fluffy. Gradually pour melted chocolate into egg mixture, stirring constantly. Fold in almond meal. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium-high speed, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture until just combined.
Pour mixture into prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes. The torte will be very moist in the middle. Transfer torte to a wire rack and cool completely in the pan. About an hour.
Once cool, removed from the springform pan. You can sift a little confectioner’s sugar on top. Cut into wedges and serve.
