This quick and easy Chocolate Torte turns just a few simple ingredients into an amazingly delicious dessert sure to satisfy your biggest chocolate cravings!

Every once in a while, I like to flip through my collection of my mother’s old community cookbooks. I feel like those recipes are such tried and true favorites if they were deemed worthy of that kind of collection. I almost always find a little gem in those pages.

This wonderfully quick and easy Chocolate Torte is one of my favorite discoveries. It’s not unlike other desserts I’ve made, but it always serves as a good reminder to me that even the very simplest things can be amazingly delicious.

If you’ve ever had a flourless chocolate cake, then this one will feel familiar to you. Lots of chocolate. Lots of eggs. And lots and lots of big, bold, rich flavor. This version is not quite flourless, as there’s just a bit of flour in the batter to help give the cake some structure. If you’re looking for a flourless chocolate cake, try this traditional version or these individual cakes.

So, what makes this dessert so easy? Well, it’s made with just a few ingredients that many of us have in our kitchens at any given time. It uses melted butter, so there’s no waiting on butter to soften. And it bakes quickly. Flag this recipe as a go-to when you need a simple, crowd-pleasing dessert on short notice.

I made just a couple of adjustments to that old recipe I found, but it’s still one of the quickest and easiest desserts you could ever hope to make. And the chocolate flavor is absolutely fantastic. If you’re a big chocolate fan, then you will adore every rich, decadent bite.
