Chocolate Torte

My latest baking victory (self-proclaim, hehe) - chocolate torte. Basically the success lies in a good recipe that I found at http://www.joyofbaking.com/ChocolateTorte.html. Just one small note: baking oven must be fan assisted. Else, simply increase the oven temperature by 15 degree Celsius for baking purpose (lesson learnt from previous failure) ;)

I have no idea what cream of tartar (one of the ingredient) is but since only a quarter teaspoon is required, so I decided it's negligible :) The Ganache is optional but I do it anyway because I have no idea how it should be when I bake it. The chocolate torte turns out to be rich, moist, chocolaty & really really nice. I love it so much (also because I'm a chocolate lover & I baked the cake!).

Baked it on Sunday night (actually it takes about 3 hours to complete, half of it was waiting time) and kept in the fridge. The cake tasted even slightly better the next day, amazing. Brought it to work on Monday & shared with my colleagues. Received good reviews, one of my colleague was asking what kind of cake I'll bake next time, lol... I'm so glad that I 'overwrite' my previous baking failure history with this one :D
