Torta is the Spanish word for a “sweet cake” in many South American countries. This torta fluida is a Venezuelan molten chocolate cake made with 100% Venezuelan dark chocolate. It is a sumptuous dessert which makes the perfect end to any meal.
Ingredients
1.1 lb. El Rey Apamte chocolate (dark chocolate)
8.8 oz. unsalted butter
6 eggs
6 egg yolks
7.1 oz. powdered sugar
4 oz. all-purpose flour
12 aluminum ramekins
Directions
Break the chocolate into pieces and place it in a double boiler with the unsalted butter. Let the mixture melt.
Whisk eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and flour together in a large bowl until the mixture is twice its original size.
Add in the melted chocolate to the mixture. Pour the batter into the ramekins.
Bake for 6 minutes at 400 degrees.
Serves: 12
