I've made this before, but used coconut oil instead of butter. It was absolutely amazing!

I've been making this torte for years, it's great for Passover. I have multiple copies of The Cake Bible and I love everything Rose Levy Beranbaum does. She is "The Queen" of baking and pastry and her cookbooks are so detailed and provide so much great information. I highly recommend them. I usually use the Ghirardelli bittersweet chips that you can find in almost any grocery store and this recipe comes out amazing every time, of course you can use any darker chocolate you wish. Also, after you pull it from the fridge (I usually let it sit in the fridge overnight), remove the spring form pan ring, then flip it over onto a plate or cardboard round covered in plastic wrap, use the torch to release the bottom pan of the spring form pan and then peel off the parchment, flip it back over onto a serving dish, cut the cake in smaller slices (at least 12, it's very rich), then let it sit and come closer to room temp before serving. It melts in your mouth even more if you let it warm up to room temp. It's like you're eating an elevated candy bar, so amazing!

A re-useable wrap would be less wasteful but foil allows heat transfer and silicone is an insulator so there would be a difference in texture. Like, for baking cookies, silicone mats are the worst - I don't get the silpat popularity, when a parchment liner makes for much nicer cookies.

Reading comments I could see many others had the same impression and were disappointed by the tools used like a large stand mixer, springform pan, and torch that many don't have, expensive ingredients, and time needed to get to finished dessert.

I have exactly the same yellow Kobenstyle pot and love it. Thanks for the info about the new ones. Regarding the torching of the form to release the tort. It may be easier and safer to preserve the foil that was wrapped around the form when it went into the oven. After the tort is chilled, put the form back into the foil and place it in hot water for a minute or two. It will release perfectly without the use of a flame.

I love the way you describe the flavors that you’re experiencing! I will soon be experiencing one of those glorious moments of chocolate joy for myself! Thank you for sharing!

15 minutes sounds like a massive understatement, when even the video itself, that doesn't show all the intermediate steps (such as the butter+chocolate mixture getting heated), takes 13 minutes until the cake has been served.

The originators of this recipe are taking some liberty with this 15 minutes thing.

I made this years ago for my husband's birthday (funnily, it was his birthday yesterday). It is amazing but quite expensive so I've only made it a few times since I've had the book. It's great garnished with strawberries. It's incredibly rich. A little goes a long way. But it's not too sweet or sick making.

This is almost identical to Chef John’s chocolate decadence cake posted 8 years ago, except he did not use a soufflé bath, released the cake with a traditional buttered and floured pan. Also, apparently this cake, again called chocolate decadence, was really popular in the 1980s. I made this a few weeks ago, and I HIGHLY recommend eating this cake with his raspberry sauce recipe, some whipped cream and shaved chocolate or coffee. It is a very rich “decadent” experience which is elevated so much by the vibrant, bright raspberry sauce.

I am always so grateful when Emmy makes gluten free recipes (and then I know if they will truly be tasty) thanks so much! 💕

omg I so cant wait to try this! thanks for sharing, Emmy! Please dont bully cakes. 🧡

I’m so thrilled you used Scharfen Berger chocolate! It’s my favorite 🤩

I worked at a place that made a similar thing, but it separated the yolks and eggs and you whipped the yolks before adding the chocolate (which I believe was melted with butter, i don't have the recipe with me right now) and then you whipped the whites, folded that in. BUT! The night before you took raisins and soaked them in whiskey (you could use simple syrup if you want to avoid alcohol) and then chopped up some almonds and you fold them in last minute before you bake them. I think it was called the Double Diablo Torte. It was so good.

That chocolate cake torte looks SOOOOO yummy!!

If you take a oven bag and cover the spring form pan it works better than foil. You will not water leak through to cake or torte or cheese.

This looks delicious, and doesn't really seem to be too sweet. Can't wait to make this! I have the dark chocolate thst you used in your "greens cupcakes," which were a huge hit.

No 'good' chocolate. No fancy equipment. No waterbath. Still good. Sauce: I have made this (half) recipe no less than 5 times, since this video was posted. I used Nestle semi sweet chocolate chips. I added powdered sugar, vanilla, and a few drops of Fiori di Sicilia (which /is/ fancy). I don't even use the right oven temperatures, which sometimes yields less of the ganache effect, and more of a brownie/outer edge effect. Still good.

The way you describe it makes it sound similar to my personal brownie recipe, except I use semi bitter chocolate, sugar to balance it out and make the eggs puff out more and some leavening flour to give it extra volume and a bit of crust, that way it gets a bite for the outside, but the inside keeps the dense mousse like interior taste

If you want to release something from a springform pan, use a small bowl. Lay it face down, then lower the unlatched pan down onto it. That way the base of the pan stays with the bowl and the walls of the pan lower. Then you don’t have a wobbly pan hanging off your arm lol Anything will work as long as it’s smaller than the base of the springform pan (so that it can fit in the lowering wall of the springform pan). A small cake stand would work great.

This looks great! Definitely will try. I have all of my mom's Dansk cookware from the1970s. I used to live near a Dansk store, so that's what she'd get for birthday or Christmas.

Man... My mouth is actually watering... I want that cake so much right now lol.

Torte looks amazing, Emmy! What a shame about the Dansk issue...I guess they were unaware that you have close to 3 MILLION subscribers and would be sharing your experience with all of them? Silly Dansk ;-). PS: Dansk is now owned by Food52- perhaps their quality will improve?

For next time: when folding whipped anything into a denser mixture if you do it in parts it tends to work better! So do it in 3 parts or even just 2 parts and it should incorporate quicker without losing as much of the air. So add 1/3 of the whipped cream/eggs/egg whites and then fold, next 1/3, fold, last 1/3, fold.

I wonder if doing some kind of graham cracker crust or something would add to it. Give it a nice crunch!

I’ve always made a similar recipe but didn’t heat the eggs. I separated them and whipped the egg whites separately to get the fluffy texture! I may try to heat my eggs next time!

This is the cake I make every year for my birthday. I love it soooooo much...with berries.

Thank you for the recipe - M E ❤ Wish we had a HUGE mixer like you! (and a alternative means of egg whispery for folks who don't.) Read up on the concept of spring form pans - why it has a clasp and how to release it…makes getting stuff out of it so much easier!! Also, while fire is very dramatic, a hot knife along the edge of the torte will aid in freeing it from the pan, just as well. Presentation = everything. Consider adding a sprig of mint or a raspberry or 5 to the plate.😮

I love chocolate tortes so much. Maybe I'll make this for my birthday in August. Mmmmm!

So, you pretty much make a chocolate mousse and you bake it. Genius.

That looks lethal! :) A suggestion to pretty the torte up; use a paper doily as a stencil & dust with icing-sugar or icing-sugar & cocoa mix.

OOh...I make something like this with ground rice and water instead of butter and just bet the water boiling and whisk in the dark chocolate and eggs. I do whisk in a bit of butter if I have it or sometimes peanut butter. Sometimes I bake it, but just as good as a pudding. I am more of a use what I have type and am enjoying what having a nutribullet can do...but definitely will have to try it with all the butter! Another great emmy video!

Interesting watching this, I have made this torte many times from The Cake Bible recipe, which interestingly is very slightly different if I remember right, the pan with water is preheated in the oven while you are preparing the torte, and the recipe had you beat the eggs to soft peaks, and fold in half the eggs and then the other half. Chill the torte for an hour or so, no torch method. So interesting seeing the tiny changes.

I think this absolutely looks photogenic. Then again, I'm a chocolate fiend so I'm probably a bit biased.

Interesting recipe. I think all vintage stuff is better made then the stuff today. My expensive pots and pans say metal is okay but eventually it starts coming off. They are Calphalon brand. I think stuff these days of manufactured to break so we have to buy it more often. Oh and the recipe looks good too! Lol😊

I still think this is more of a treat than a healthy thing, but I am addicted to sugar and if I am making something from scratch I always look forward removing as much sugar (and fat) from my food as possible while still tricking my brain into thinking its eating something unhealthy and tasty. 😁

Not having the right sugar proportions does throw off the texture some. We sometimes make it with a darker chocolate than called for, which gives a higher fat to sugar ratio. And then the fat has a tendency to bloom out of it, which makes it a bit grainy, as opposed to lusciously smooth. Still tastes incredible. But has some mild aesthetic and mouthfeel issues.

If you don't have a torch to release the torte, I would recommend wrapping a tea towel soaked in hot water wrapped around the pan.

My favourite chocolate torte recipe is Delia Smith's - it's also minimal ingredients and is even easier than this recipe for the method. And it's no-bake, just chill until set. I think it might be possible to make it vegan as well with a reasonably stable whipping cream sub.

Because there's very little sugar in this type of dark chocolate and in this recipe in general, it'll taste mostly of chocolate, but not be very sweet. To serve this, I'd suggest topping it with a sweetened ganache or a fruit puree to help offset the bitterness of the dark chocolate, maybe even sprinkling it with a bit of powdered sugar. I might even top that with some fresh raspberries or strawberries to help overall combine together to improve the sweetness. If you're a super fan of bitter chocolate, though, eating it straight up would be fine.
