CHOCOLATE PECAN MERINGUE TORTE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Draw two 8-inch circles on a sheet of parchment paper and place it on a sheet pan, pencil side down.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on high speed for one minute, until frothy. With the mixer on high, slowly add the 2/3 cups sugar and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and beat on high for 2 minutes, until it makes firm, glossy peaks.
- Divide the meringue between the two circles and spread into two flat 8-inch disks with a rubber spatula. Bake the meringues for one hour, turn the heat off, and leave the meringues in the oven for 2 hours. Remove them from the oven and allow to cool completely to room temperature on the sheet pan.
- With a large flat spatula, carefully transfer one disk, rounded side up, to a totally flat serving plate. (It's okay if the top cracks a little.) Spread the chocolate pecan filling evenly on top. Place the second meringue, rounded side up, on top.
- Combine the heavy cream, the 2 tablespoons sugar, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until it forms firm peaks. Spread the whipped cream on top of the torte. Decorate with the shaved chocolate and refrigerate for 2 hours or for up to a day and serve cold.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, process the pecans until finely ground. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl set over a pan of simmering water, whisk the eggs, sugar, and cornstarch together, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Whisk the mixture almost constantly, until it is 130 to 140 degrees and thickened like custard. Set aside to cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally.
- Set another bowl over the pan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Put the chocolate and espresso in the bowl and heat just until the chocolate melts, stirring occasionally. Stir in the Kahlua and vanilla and set aside to cool to room temperature. Whisk the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then whisk in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until smooth. Stir in the pecans. The filling can sit at room temperature for up to 4 hours.
DARK CHOCOLATE PECAN TORTE
This recipe was invented by a 12 yr. old boy for a cooking contest. It's so good, I make it for my birthday cake. It really is so rich that you can get 10 servings out of an 8" springform pan

Steps:
- Remove the side from an 8" springform pan.
- Line the bottom of the pan with waxed paper, extending the paper over the bottom edge.
- Attach side to bottom of the springform pan, making sure paper is secured to the pan.
- Trim paper to just beyond edge of pan.
- Grease paper and 1 inch up sides of pan with shortening or butter; set aside (or, grease the bottom of a 9x1 1/2" round baking pan; line bottom of pan with waxed paper. Grease the paper and side of pan. Set aside).
- Place the 1 cup of chocolate pieces and the 1/3 cup butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on 100 percent power (high) for 1 minute to 1 minute and 15 seconds or until chocolate is smooth when stirred; cool slightly.
- Add granulated sugar and the 1 1/2 tsp vanilla to melted chocolate mixture.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed.
- Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in flour and water on low speed, just until combined.
- Stir in the 3/4 cup pecans.
- Thoroughly wash beaters.
- In a bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt with electric mixer on high speed just until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight).
- Stir a small amount of the beaten egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture to lighten the batter.
- Carefully fold the remaining egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- If using the springform pan, place it in a shallow baking pan on the oven rack.
- If using the 9" baking pan, place it directly on the oven rack.
- Bake cake in a 350°F oven about 45 minutes for the springform pan or about 35 minutes for the 9" pan or until the top is evenly puffed.
- Torte will not test done in center.
- Top will have a sugary crust that will crack.
- Remove springform pan from baking pan.
- Cool cake in pan on wire rack.
- Loosen edge of cake from pan.
- Remove side of pan.
- Invert onto serving plate.
- Remove pan bottom.
- Peel off paper.
- If using 9" pan, cool cake in pan on wire rack for 30 minutes; loosen side of cake and invert onto plate.
- Peel off paper.
- Cool.
- Spoon Chocolate Glaze over cake, spreading to cover top and allowing glaze to drip over sides.
- If desired, sprinkle top with chopped pecans.
- Cover; refrigerate about 30 minutes or until glaze is set.
- Chocolate Glaze.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons water.
- Microwave on 100 percent (high) about 45 seconds.
- Add 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar and 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract; beat until smooth.
- If necessary, add hot water, 1 teaspoon at a time to make a glaze consistency.
- Notes:.
- Because the torte has very little flour and lots of sugar, the top will puff up during baking and crack.
- Don't worry about the cracks.
- Before glazing, invert the cake so the smooth bottom becomes the top.
- My cake did not crack on top.
- Use a large spoon to spread the glaze on the torte, letting some of the glaze spill oven the side.
- For a fancier dessert, use a spatula to carefully smooth the glaze around the sides of the torte and over the top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter two 8- by 2-inch round cake pans. Line each pan with a round of wax paper and butter paper.
- Make cake layers:
- In a food processor pulse 2 cups pecans with flour, salt, and baking powder until finely ground (do not pulse to a paste). Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in orange juice. Separate eggs and in a large bowl with an electric mixer beat yolks until pale yellow. Gradually add sugar, beating until thick and pale, and fold in pecan mixture gently but thoroughly. In another bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites until they hold stiff peaks. Stir about one fourth whites into pecan mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.
- Divide batter between cake pans and bake in middle of oven 25 minutes, or until cakes pull away from sides of pans. Cool cake layers in pans on a rack 10 minutes and invert onto rack to cool completely. Carefully remove wax paper from bottoms of cake layers.
- While cake layers are cooling, on a baking sheet toast remaining 1/2 cup pecans until fragrant and a shade darker, about 8 minutes. Cool nuts and chop.
- Make filling:
- In a medium bowl with cleaned beaters beat cream with zest until it just holds stiff peaks.
- Arrange 1 cake layer, top side up, on a serving plate and spread filling evenly onto layer. Put remaining layer, bottom side up, on filling.
- Make frosting:
- Chop chocolate. In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Remove chocolate from heat and stir in sour cream and a pinch salt until smooth.
- Immediately spread frosting on top and side of torte and pat toasted pecans around side. Chill torte, loosely covered, until frosting is set, at least 1 hour, and up to 3 days.
- Serve torte chilled or at room temperature.
