Merry Christmas!
And so once again I find time to blog! And it is a very good thing too since I come bearing a wonderful gift! I have the most amazing recipe yummmmmmmmmmmmmm!
MayI present La Bete Noire! So by the name you could probably tell its french! So now its automatically gonna be super good, but when I was trying to figure out what the translation was it wasn't sounding so good.... so Noire means black but I didn't have a clue what Bete meant! And so I called upon my awesome cousin who lives in France! Through the wonderful world of Facebook I learned that Bete meant stupid or idiot..... well now we were both confused! Why would a chocolate torte be stupid???? So she called upon a french friend to help explain. The explanation is, "La Bete Noire is also like the person that is always guilty so in the case of a dessert, it's a guilty thing" Which is a perfect description of this torte!
Be prepared for a wonderful chocolaty sensation from this flour-less torte!
Cake
1 cup of water
3/4 cup of sugar
9 tablespoons of butter, unsalted
18 ounces of bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
6 eggs
Ganache
1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces of bittersweet or semisweet chocolate

Set the oven to 375 |
 |
Prepare a spring form pan, I like to use parchment paper |
 |
start with the sugar and water |
 |
bring it to a boil and then remove from heat |
 |
now melt the butter |
 |
and then add all that yummy chocolate! |
 |
after the chocolate is melted add the sugar water mixture |
 |
after that add the eggs! |
 |
and pour into the prepared pan |
 |
next put the pan in a water bath and bake for about 50 minuets until the middle doesn't shake |
 |
cooling time! |
 |
making ganche is super easy bring the cream to a gentle boil and then add the chocolate! |
 |
Ta-da! I even added a bit of mint flavoring for Christmas! |
