CHOCOLATE TORTE - NO BAKING
This torte is like rich soft dark chocolate that can be served plain with raspberrys/ other fruit to temper the sweetness. Alternatively a flavouring can be added to the mixture before pouring into the mould to add intrest such as crystallised ginger or orange extract etc. Everybody I've served this to has requested the recipe and it's so easy and quick to make and serve you should really try it out! Also perfect for dinner parties as it can be made a few days in advance and just stored in the fridge until needed.

Steps:
- Prepare a 7x7 dish by lining it with greaseproof paper for easy removal of the torte once cold.
- Measure out the butter and chocolate and chop up ready for adding later.
- Put the cream, sugar and salt in a pan and bring slowly to near boiling stirring constantly. You should see small bubbles at the edges of the pan.
- Add the butter and chocolate and stir well until melted. Then add any other flavourings if desired (eg ginger etc) (optional).
- Pour into prepared dish and chill in fridge overnight or until set (at least 7 hours I'd guess).
- When set torte can be turned carefully onto serving dish where it will sit firm and not ooze. You can then decorate with cream / fruit / drizzled white chocolate (optional).
Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: This will make a big difference in the taste of your baked goods. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content, such as 70% or higher.
- Melt chocolate properly: Overheating chocolate can cause it to become grainy and seize up. To melt chocolate properly, use a double boiler or place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir the chocolate constantly until it is melted and smooth.
- Don't overmix your batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dry cake. Mix your batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake your cakes at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will affect the texture of your cake. For most cakes, a temperature of 350°F (175°C) is ideal.
- Let your cakes cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and becoming runny.
Conclusion:
Chocolate is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used to create a wide variety of baked goods. From cakes and cookies to brownies and pies, there is a chocolate dessert to suit every taste. With a little practice, you can master the art of chocolate baking and create delicious treats that will impress your friends and family.
