Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create a delicious Paleo Chocolate Torte:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with coconut oil and set aside.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredient mixture, stirring until you have a smooth batter without lumps.
5. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool the Torte: Remove the torte from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely for at least 1 hour.
8. Serve: Once cooled, the torte can be garnished with shaved dark chocolate or fresh berries if desired.
