Chocolate Torta

Torta di Cioccolato

This is a real chocolate fix, every now and then you must indulge in something very chocolaty. I found that this chocolate torta meets that standard! The texture of this cake is smooth and creamy. It can be served with berries, whip cream or even ice cream!

Chocolate Torta

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 cup butter

1 cup sugar
5 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup flour
powdered sugar for dusting

Slowly melt chocolate and butter over low heat, remove from heat. Whisk in sugar, add 1 egg at a time, vanilla, salt and flour. Pour in a buttered 9 or 10 inch pan and bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Torta is very moist, cool, wrap and refrigerate. Dust with powdered sugar.
