Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz bittersweet or semisweet dark chocolate, chopped
  • 6 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: a splash of water for coulis consistency

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Set up a double boiler. Place chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and gently melt, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  3. Separate the egg yolks and whites into two large bowls, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites.
  4. Add sugar to the yolks and whisk until pale and slightly fluffy (2-3 minutes). Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  5. Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the yolk mixture, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form (4-5 minutes).
  7. Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it, then fold in the remaining whites carefully until just combined.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are set but center is slightly soft and fudgy. Avoid overbaking.
  10. Let the torte cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to set.
  11. Prepare the raspberry coulis by combining raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until raspberries break down and sauce thickens slightly (about 10 minutes). Strain if a smooth coulis is desired.
  12. Release the torte from the pan, slice, and drizzle generously with raspberry coulis. Garnish with fresh raspberries or powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better volume. Be gentle when folding in egg whites to keep the batter airy. Avoid overbaking to maintain fudgy texture. Chill the torte before serving for easier slicing. Prepare coulis ahead to deepen flavors. High-quality chocolate with at least 60% cocoa is recommended. Frozen raspberries can be used for coulis; thaw and strain seeds if desired.
