Chocolate Espresso Torte Recipe

	Chacha / All my dishes 1 year, 10 months ago This dessert is so decadent it's probably the definition of decadent. The original recipe suggests coffee or vanilla ice cream to be served on the side but honestly, it's not necessary. Prep:30m Cook:60m Servings:8	Chacha

Ingredients

Butter

2 Tbsp. matzo cake meal

2 cups (4 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons hot espresso coffee

12 ounces bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (not unsweetened)

4 ounces extra-bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

6 large eggs, room temperature

6 large egg yolks, room temperature

powdered sugar

Directions

Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degress F.

Generously butter an 8 inch diameter springform pan with 2-3/4 inch sides.

Line bottom with parchment or waxed paper.

Butter paper and sprinkle with matzo cake meal.

Melt 2 cups butter slowly in a heavy 3 quart saucepan.

Add sugar and espresso and continue cooking over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves.

Add both types of chopped chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.

Remove chocolate mixture from heat.

Whisk eggs and yolks in large bowl until frothy.

Whisk into chocolate mixture.

Pour batter into prepared pan.

Place pan on heavy baking sheet.

Bake until edges puff and crack slightly, but center is not completely set, about 1 hour.

I made a substitution in the flour used to dust the pan with and then added it to the 101 Gluten Free Place group.. I hope you don't mind... It's such a wonderful looking recipe... and it's hard to find recipes that with a simple change can be enjoyed by people who can not eat wheat, rye, or barley.. thank you
