This is how you make an incredibly simple chocolate torte, it will blow your mind.
Hello folks it is barry here your self taught host welcome to my virgin kitchen I am so
excited about this recipe today you must try it, I had a request for a chocolate torte
and wow did we fulfil it, this is not a serving suggestion please do not serve it on a knife
but it is so easy and so good please give it a go, couple of things thanks for all the
baklava comments guys that was hilarious you guys are the funniest ever also you guys are
almost insisting me in fact there is one person spamming me, like proper spamming me wanting
me to make a mirror cake I will do that but please be gentle there is no need for all
the comments, one other thing I want to talk about is brand deals ok but I will come to
that half way through the recipe but lets get cracking the first thing you want to do
is get yourself one of those springform tins they are the ones with the latch on it so
you can remove the base I do not know why I am doing that motion but you know the base
becomes loose you want to grease that the greasy bottom and the sides and line the base
with a circle to make it easier to get it out later on.
The first step on this journey we are going to **** our oops, the first step on this journey
we are going to crack four room temperature eggs straight from a chickens bum into a mixing
bowl well they would not be room temperature if they came from a chickens bum but I do
not know why I said that get those in there make sure there is no shell all that stuff
then pour in the sugar then use an electric whisk and whisk the sugar and eggs together
not just for 30 seconds so they are merged we are going to beat them, like beat it beat
them for a good 5 minutes until thick like a custard texture.
Oh it is custard like, it is kind of thick and yellow colour right that is the better
description, I want you to leave that now to one side this is me leaving it to one side
and showing you where that is and grab a saucepan, combine together some really good quality
dark chocolate important you get really good quality coca ratio in there and some butter
if you want to be really neat you can just chop the butter up but just put it on a low
flame to merge together do not melt it let it go all bubbly stir consistently and that
step is done.
I just want to touch on a comment I had the other day about doing real time cooking and
I love doing recipes that way but the microphone I have at the moment does not allow me to
do that so if I go like this and do different steps and the microphone is pointing in different
areas it sounds really weird far away and close, I did have lapel microphones for a
while and I love that but I am like the only person in the world where for some reason
those lapel microphones do not work with my camera and there is all these experts trying
to help me I do not know.
But this brings me on to a point about brand deals ok, I have been able to afford microphones
in the past because of brand deals and bits like that and I do not have to do them that
often as I have so many videos here but I have been approached by a brand to do something
on this channel for maybe once a week for 5 or 6 weeks and it sounds fun I do like it
I know you guys are like brand deals and stuff but this brand deal if I do it, I am not going
to agree to it just yet I need to let you guys know about it and get your opinion it
is going to potentially open up the chance for me to have a studio space again and create
the biggest giant foods I have ever done, get a new studio where the girls can cook,
basically this new vision I have for this channel I am so excited about it but I want
to let you guys know that may happen and if I do those videos to support it and do not
be like oh you sold out because there is a much more amazing opportunity off the back
of that and spin off channels it could be really cool I just want to let you know about
that I do not know how that relates to a microphone and real time cooking but yeah.
This is quite a sexy moment ok so our melted chocolate mixture gets poured into our whipped
egg and sugar that at first is not looking that good but the more you stir it with a
metal spoon make sure you fully incorporate it in there it is going chocolatey at first
and gorgeous but you need to keep going until it is a consistent colour making sure you
get every nook and crannie from your saucepan get it in there looking gorgeous I am such
a donut I am editing the video you are watching right now that is quite bizarre isn�t it
I forgot to tell you you have to add in now ground flour and plain almonds put that into
the chocolate mixture and mix it well through until combined now if you think that is a
good shot check this out we are now pouring our mix into a lined springform tin oh my
gosh get it all in there give it a little tap to settle then you can bake it in your
pre heated oven for around ten minutes at the temperature on your screen until it forms
a lovely crust take it out of the oven let it cool for 5 minutes before releasing the
spring taking it off and letting it cool down for another ten minutes.
One really important step whilst it is in the oven hug a pug ok, if you have not got
a pug get anything and pretend it is a pug.
So I showed you on snapchat how I got it onto the cakestand but there it is straight on
there giving it a good old dusting all over with cocoa powder you can leave it messy if
you like for some reason I wanted to give it a clean and then it was time to take a
huge wedge out of it like a huge wedge of chocolate torte oh my goodness instant r Kelly
moment my mind is telling me no!
Oh my gosh guys it is so good I need to get rid of it so if you fancy coming over let
me know then boston can share some unfortunately he cannot have any I really hope you give
