Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 150 °C. Line with greaseproof paper a 9-inch (23 cm) spring-form cake tin.
Step 2
Melt the chocolate in a metal or glass bowl placed over a pot of barely simmering water, stirring constantly. Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3
Whip the egg whites with 50 g sugar until the whites hold a soft peak (when the whites curl when the beaters are lifted). Set aside.
Step 4
In another bowl, whip the egg yolks with the remaining 50 g of sugar and the vanilla until doubled in volume, about 4-6 minutes.
Step 5
Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whipped yolks, and then fold the whites into the mixture in 2 additions. Spread the batter gently into the prepared cake tin.
Step 6
Bake the torta for 25-30 minutes. As soon as you remove the cake from the oven it will begin to fall, but it is supposed to.
Step 7
Cool the cake to room temperature then serve.
Step 8
I prefer to serve the cake warm with berries and non-dairy vanilla yogurt.
