Flourless Chocolate Torte (GF) – Culinary Seasons

Flourless Chocolate Torte is an easy recipe to make, don’t let the length of this recipe deter you from making it. The fact it is Gluten Free also should not scare you off, there are many classic tortes that are baked with little to no flour. This torte is always a crowd favorite when I bring to an event or family get together.

The torte is easy to put together, easy to bake and letting it cool at room temperature will help to keep an even cool to avoid the middle to sink. Refrigerating overnight allows for it to firm up before removing from the pan and decorating with ganache. Pair the torte with fresh berries or a raspberry coulis to cut the sweetness.

The baking time may need to be adjusted 5 minutes longer depending on your oven. Cooling time may be up to 2 days, if you are going to keep refrigerated longer than overnight I recommend wrapping the cake pan with the cake in plastic wrap to avoid drying out.As stated later in the recipe, I do not compress the torte after baking but there are many chefs who like the more dense consistency instead of light and airy.

I prefer the light and airy as it is a rich torte and it helps with the overall end product, in my opinion. Allow the torte to come to room temperature before serving as this will help enhance the flavors as well.
