How to Make Walnut Chocolate Flourless Torte
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack in the center.
- Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter. Dust with 1 tablespoon of flour and tap out excess.
- Spread 1 cup walnut halves on a baking sheet. Toast for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Let cool completely.
- Once cooled, combine toasted walnuts and 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder in a food processor. Pulse until finely ground.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 4 large egg yolks with 3/4 cup light brown sugar until pale and thick (about 3 minutes).
- Beat in 1 tablespoon rum and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture. Fold in the ground walnuts and cocoa.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form (about 2 minutes).
- Gradually add 1/2 cup granulated sugar while beating on medium speed, then increase to high speed and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form (about 1 minute).
- Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate batter. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly puffed and cracked. Rotate the pan halfway through baking.
- Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Remove the sides of the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. (The center may sink slightly.)
- Carefully remove the bottom of the springform pan and transfer the torte to a serving plate.
