Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, melt the chopped dark chocolate and cubed butter together, either in the microwave or over a double boiler. Make sure it's fully melted and smooth.
- Allow the chocolate-butter mixture to cool slightly, then whisk in the granulated sugar until fully combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the torte is set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the torte cools, prepare the yogurt cream by whisking together Greek yogurt and honey (or maple syrup) in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Once the torte is completely cooled, slice it into neat pieces and serve with a dollop of yogurt cream and a sprinkling of fresh berries.

Notes
This torte is incredibly versatile, so feel free to play around with the chocolate by using dark, semisweet, or even white chocolate! If you're looking for a lower-calorie option, consider substituting half of the granulated sugar with a sugar alternative. Storage-wise, the torte can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days, and the yogurt cream can be served fresh each time. Enjoy experimenting with different toppings or garnishes, and don’t hesitate to use whatever berries are in season for a delightful twist! Happy baking!
