Yield 12 Servings (or more)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 oz unsweetened chocolate
12 oz bittersweet chocolate
2 cups strong coffee (espresso)
1 lb unsalted butter
8 eggs + 1 extra yolk
1 1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. 2. Line a 9" or 10" spring form pan with foil. Butter and flour the foil. 3. Melt butter, add coffee and sugar. Stir. 4. Add both kinds of chocolate and stir till melted. Don't let this get too hot. Remove from heat. 5. Beat eggs till whites and yellows combined, then beat into chocolate mixture. Beat till smooth and shiny. 6. Bake on middle rack for 30-40 minutes. Torte will look 'wobbly' - it will firm up in the refrigerator. Torte is best when it is refrigerated for at least 8 hours (24 is better). 7. Cut with sharp knife dipped repeatedly in very hot water.
