Wildly Delicious Chocolate Torte

This recipe came to me from some of my girlfriends in college. For my birthday they gave me this booklet on chocolate. One of the recipes was this rich, dense, sinful, chocolate torte.

Chocolate Torte

I’ve been making my own simplified version of it for years, and it’s pretty easy to make. One of my favorite things about this recipe is that you need to refrigerate it or freeze it after baking. I love make ahead recipes, especially if you are having people over and have lots of other things to make the day of the party.

Chocolate Torte

You can play with toppings such as berries or serve it with whipped cream or even ice cream.  Here I just dusted it with powdered sugar. If you have a doily or some other stencil like pattern you can make it look even prettier. Truly is doesn’t really need any help and is so dense and delicious on its own.
