Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Melt the chopped dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and thick, about 3-4 minutes.
Gradually mix in the melted chocolate and butter mixture until well combined.
Add the cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the batter is smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until the torte is set around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, remove the torte from the pan. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or cocoa powder before serving.
