At a BBQ recently I made a couple of chocolate tortes for pudding. They didn't turn out as well as they have in the past - I couldn't find the recipe, and was using an unfamiliar kitchen - but I have in the past made some really brilliant chocolate torte and here is the recipe.
(This one's for you Liz!)

| Chocolate torte - New Years Eve 2012 |
Start with 200g of good quality melted chocolate (the darker the better in theory but I always use milk chocolate). Add 200g of melted butter/margarine and mix till well combined. Then slowly beat in 4 medium sized eggs.
Mix in 200g of brown sugar and then add 100g of a plain flour/ground almonds mix (I tend to up the almonds and decrease the flour for a richer torte)
I usually add about 25g of cocoa powder and some vanilla essence too at this point.
Pour into a greased lined cake tin and bake for about 35 mins at gas mark 4. It should be slightly squidgy inside with a nice crisp crust on top. Fab served with chantilly cream and fresh berries!
