How to Make Espresso Chocolate Torte

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Make the ganache: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 6 ounces (170g) of bittersweet chocolate, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream and 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter until fully combined and smooth (about 6-8 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon (15ml) strong brewed espresso.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar until pale and fluffy (about 6-8 minutes using an electric mixer).
  6. Gently fold the ganache into the egg mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 3 hours to allow the torte to set.
  10. Before serving, dust with unsweetened cocoa powder (optional).
