How to Make Dark Chocolate Pecan Torte

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth.
  7. Stir in the toasted pecans and chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the torte cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the sides of the springform pan.
  10. Let the torte cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
