For a richer flavor, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao. Ensure all ingredients, especially eggs and butter, are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Do not overbake the torte; it should be slightly fudgy in the center. The torte can be made 1-2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
