CHOCOLATE TORTE

This Chocolate torte is made with no wheat flour and only 1/4 cup of Almond flour. It is mostly made up of eggs, sugar and A LOT of chocolate ! Oh yeah, and some coffee liqueur. Can’t forget that. Here’s the pic of how it should look….

Think rich, dense, brownie. You beat the egg whites and sugar till they form a meringue, then fold in lots of melted dark chocolate. When it bakes, it puffs up slightly although there are no leavening agents added to make it rise. Consequently, while it cools, it deflates. Here is mine right after baking…

Then, this…

The top is covered with sifted dark cocoa, and served with whipped cream. Very easy recipe. Too much chocolate for my taste, but the men (chocolate lovers, every one of them!) I served it to LOVED it !
