Baileys Chocolate Flourless Torte

So yes, finally decided its high time that I finally archive my tried and tested recipes online (and also update this space) so that I will never lose it and also because all good things should be shared.

Baileys Chocolate Flourless Torte

Makes one 8” round

200 g dark chocolate (I use 55%)
80 g butter
80 g caster sugar
2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
4 eggs, separated
pinch of salt

• Butter and dust the cake tin and preheat the oven to 180C 
• Melt butter and chocolate together in baine-marie, stir to combine. 
• Remove and add Baileys and stir till it comes together. 
• Whisk in the sugar, then egg yolks. 
• In a separate bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks with a pinch of salt. 
• Gently fold the egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Do not over-mix.
• Pour the batter into the cake tin and bake for 25 minutes, a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
• Let cool before removing the cake from the tin.
• Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
• Serve with ice cream, dried fruits or nuts entirely up to your imagination! 

And as of most chocolate cakes, the flavour continues to set and deepens as it cools so best served on the second day after refrigeration. (if you can resist that is)

Till next time!
