Ingredients

To make this double chocolate torte, you will need the following ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup heavy cream
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Before you begin baking, preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2: Make the Batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Divide the batter in half and place each half in its own bowl.

To one of the bowls of batter, add the cocoa powder and stir until combined. To the other bowl of batter, add the chocolate chips and stir until combined.

Step 3: Bake the Torte

Spread half of the chocolate batter into the prepared cake pan. Top with the remaining vanilla batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4: Make the Ganache

In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Step 5: Frost the Torte

Spread the cooled ganache over the top and sides of the cooled torte. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and serve.
