Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Torte

  • 4 large eggs (separated)
  • 2/3 cup granulated white sugar (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar

Raspberry Filling

  • 12 oz raspberries (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 2/3 cup whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Grease and line a 6 inch springform pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Separate Eggs: While eggs are cold, separate yolks and whites into separate bowls. Let come to room temperature for about 30 minutes to ensure proper whipping.
  3. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water and stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Mix Egg Yolks: Add 1/3 cup sugar to the egg yolks and beat on high speed for 3-5 minutes until pale and tripled in volume. Stir in vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the cooled chocolate-butter mixture until just combined.
  5. Beat Egg Whites: Using clean beaters, beat egg whites on high speed until foamy (about 1 minute). Add white vinegar and continue beating until soft peaks form (1-2 minutes). Gradually add remaining 1/3 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
  6. Fold Mixtures: Gently fold a small amount of egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Carefully fold in remaining egg whites until combined, being careful not to deflate the batter.
  7. Bake Torte: Pour batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Cool Torte: Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 30 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edges to loosen. Remove springform sides and let torte cool completely.
  9. Prepare Whipped Cream: Beat whipping cream on high speed until soft peaks form.
  10. Make Raspberry Puree: In a bowl, mash 8 oz raspberries with 1 tablespoon sugar until puree consistency is reached.
  11. Assemble Torte: Spread raspberry puree evenly over the cooled torte. Pipe whipped cream over the top as desired using a piping bag.
  12. Serve: Garnish with remaining fresh raspberries and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Allow eggs to reach room temperature to achieve maximum volume when whipping.
  • Be gentle when folding egg whites into the batter to maintain lightness in the torte.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure all ingredients are certified gluten-free as this recipe naturally contains no flour.
  • Leftover torte can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; add fresh whipped cream before serving.
