    I have made this several times now. It has turned out beautifully every time. I do omit the amaretto. I have also poured batter in to ramikens and they bake perfectly.

    This was fabulous! I made the smaller size , 7" spring form pan" , which was perfect for a dinner party of 6 with four servings left for later. Cut small and add ice cream on top, or whipped cream and raspberries. You will make your friends very very happy!!!!

    Hello,

    I have several questions please:

    1. I followed the recipe to the dot, but the middle of my cake did not actually set, so could you tell me what I've done wrong?

    2. I baked it for 45 min in water bath as prescribed, I used a big skillet as I didn't have a big roasting pan. Could it have caused the problem?

    3. I did add Hershey's almond chocolate bars instead of semi-sweet chocolate, could it have been the reason for the runny middle?

    4. I thought amaretto was a bit too strong, would you be able to recommend a substitute or mix of something else too please?

    Many thanks!

    I really liked this myself, but some thought it was a little strong. Next time I will decrease amaretto

    I made this for a friend who promised a chocolate torte for a dinner party...she couldn't find one anywhere. I had never made any kind of torte before, but my husband and I love experimenting in the kitchen, so we said we'd try...making NO promises. I read all the reviews to get helpful tips from everyone else who has used this recipe. I agree that the cooking time needs to be adjusted. I think the cooking time ended up being about 35 minutes. It looked great in the pan, afterward so I felt pretty confident. I turned it out only a plate and left it like that, too scared to try to flip back, but it still looked amazing. The parchement base left the underside looking flat and smooth. We topped ours with fresh made whipped cream with amaretto mixed in (probably my favorite part and fresh raspberries. The Chocoholic guest of honor LOVED it. Not being a huge chocolate lover myself, I thought it was too heavy, kind of like eating fudge by the forkful. If you are out for Chocolate...you've found it here. Just be ready for heavy.

    I have made this for numerous parties but my favorite presentation is to make individual servings in silver cupcake holders. Watch the cooking time so that there is still a jiggle in the center of the cakes when you take them out of the oven. When they're cooled, dust with powered sugar and place three raspberries or a half-strawberry in the center. These make for a beautiful presentation on a buffet, and the serving size is smaller so that you get at least 24 servings from one recipe. I am asked to bring these to parties so often that I don't get to try all the other recipes that I want to make!

    This flourless chocolate torte was delicious!! As my first attempt at making a torte, it turned out beautifully! The 8 eggs and 2 sticks of butter are ingredients for a heart attack, but this torte was EXCELLENT!!

    Highly recommend to anyone with a craving for chocolate!
