Ursula’s Chocolate Torte

Recipe by Anna Gare from The Best In Australia

Ursula Nairn is my mentor. I first met her when I was eighteen working as a waitress at her restaurant in Cottesloe. She gave me this recipe back then and I have baked this delicious cake ever since for all kinds of special occasions.

Serves 8

Ingredients

300gms dark cooking chocolate
6 egg yolks
100gms castor sugar
Dash of vanilla extract
200gms unsalted butter (at room temp)
3 egg whites
Pinch of salt
100gms almond meal
2 Tablespoons corn flour
½ teaspoon baking powder

Method

Melt chocolate in the microwace on low heat and set aside to cool.
Beat yolks, sugar and vanilla until pale and creamy.
Continue beating and slowly drizzle in all of melted chocolate.
Cut butter into cubes and add gradually to mixture whilst beating.
In a separate bowl mix almond meal, corn flour and baking powder together. Then add to chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
Beat egg whites and salt to soft peak and then fold gently into cake mixture.
Bake in lined cake tin in a preheated 160C oven until just firm, takes about half an hour.

Great recipe, delicious cake, but what is the decoration on top? Is it spun sugar? Many thanks.
