Instructions
Pre-heat the oven to 180°c and grease and line a 27cm round cake tin.
In the bowl of a freestanding mixer, whisk the eggs and sugars until light and creamy. This can take up to 5 minutes.
Melt the chocolate over a double boiler and when the eggs are light and voluminous, slowly pour in the melted chocolate, whisking continuously.
Add the espresso powder and fold in.
Transfer the batter to the prepared tin and place in the oven.
Bake for 25 minutes until the cake has risen and feels slightly firm.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the tin. It will sink in the middle.
Combine the strawberries and icing sugar in a bowl and allow to stand for up to 30 minutes.
To serve, slice the chocolate torte then serve with a dollop of whipped cream, a spoonful of the macerated strawberries dusted with icing sugar.
