Grated orange rind adds a citrus twist to this chocolate-espresso flavored torte, but feel free to leave it out, if you're a chocolate purist. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels |
1 cup unsalted butter |
6 large eggs |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/3 cup coffee liqueur |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa |
1 teaspoon instant espresso granules |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts, toasted |
1 teaspoon grated orange rind (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine chocolate morsels and butter in a medium saucepan; cook over medium heat until melted, stirring often. Set aside; cool slightly.
2. Whisk together eggs and next 3 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add melted chocolate mixture, cocoa, and next 4 ingredients; stir until well combined. Pour into a lightly greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350ยบ for 40 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack 30 minutes. Cover and chill 1 hour.
3. Run a knife around edge of pan, and release sides. Spread top of cake with Ganache, allowing it to run down sides. Cover loosely, and chill 8 hours. Store in refrigerator.
4. *If you can't find instant espresso granules or desire a more subtle coffee flavor, substitute instant coffee granules for the instant espresso granules.
