Ingredients

For the Torte

  • 8 oz bittersweet chocolate essential for deep flavor
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter adds smooth creaminess
  • 1 cup granulated sugar balances richness

Instructions

How to Make Decadent Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Torte

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch round cake pan and line it with parchment paper.
  • Melt the bittersweet chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  • Whisk the granulated sugar and eggs in a separate bowl until light and fluffy, then gradually mix in the melted chocolate mixture.
  • Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and chopped hazelnuts, folding gently until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean but moist.
  • Cool in the pan for about ten minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.

Notes

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
