Truffle Torte

Ingredients

  • 15 ounces of cacao paste
  • 7 ounces of butter
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • 1/2 cup of brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler, stir occasionally. Pour the chocolate mixture into a bowl.
  3. Add the eggs and mix at low speed, until the mixture is completely smooth, 2 to 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the water into a small saucepan, then add the brown sugar and salt. Cook over medium-low heat until the sugar and salt dissolve, swirling the pan to aid in even cooking.
  5. With a mixer at low seed, stream the melted sugar mixture into the chocolate mixture. When all the sugar is incorporated, turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and mix until the batter is smooth and shiny, about 3 minutes. 
  6. Scrape the batter into the springform pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges look set but the center still looks shiny. 
  7. Cool and eat.
