Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease an 8-inch round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Chop 6 oz bittersweet chocolate into small pieces. In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, melt the chocolate with 1/2 cup unsalted butter, stirring until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.
  3. Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk 3/4 cup granulated sugar with 4 large eggs until pale and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly to temper.
  5. Step 5: Fold in 1 cup almond flour, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt gently until fully combined.
  6. Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Step 7: Sprinkle 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds evenly over the surface.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Step 9: Let the torte cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before removing the sides of the springform pan and serving.
