It’s always full-on chocolate “everything” season, and I love a good flourless chocolate cake. They are very easy to make, just about as easy as a dump and stir cake. Tahini is a trending ingredient amongst bakeries and dessert aficionados so I leaned into it. I made this on the fly riffing off one of my favorite recipes to create my own. The biggest change was the addition of tahini because of its element of nutty surprise. The sesame butter nature of tahini is almost the more sophisticated version of peanut butter. Maybe I’m wrong but I just love it so much! Because tahini seizes up in the presence liquid I didn’t add too much. And, also I wanted to make sure this was still well balanced with fatty butter. To make the process a little easier I combine the two in a double boiler (or a microwave) and allow them to melt into one another. This chocolate torte is easy to dress up or down, making it impressive for you or someone else.
