3-tier Chocolate Torte Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Courtbot / All my dishes 1 year, 9 months ago This is a 3-Tier chocolate torte my mother and I have made on several occasions. We got it from another online recipe site. It is moist and rich, however the cream center tends to be hard to work with. If you used stabalized whipped cream, it may be a better bet! :)... More Prep:20m Cook:2530m Servings:12	Courtbot

Ingredients

* 1 cup butter, softened

* 2 1/2 cups sugar

* 4 eggs

* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

* 1 cup baking cocoa

* 2 cups boiling water

* 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

* 2 teaspoons baking soda

* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* FILLING:

* 1 cup heavy whipping cream

* 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* FROSTING:

* 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

* 1 cup butter, cubed

* 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

* 2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in vanilla. Whisk cocoa and water until smooth. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with cocoa mixture. Beat until smooth.

Pour into three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks.

In a mixing bowl, beat cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla on high speed until soft peaks form. Chill until firm.

In a saucepan, melt chips and butter over medium heat; stir in cream. Remove from the heat; stir in confectioners' sugar. Chill for at least 1 hour or until completely cooled. Beat with electric mixer to achieve spreadable consistency.

5. Spread half of the filling over one cake layer; top with second layer and remaining filling. Top with third layer; frost top and sides of cake. Chill for 2 hours before cutting.
