Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan. Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the pan and place it on top of the greased surface. This will prevent the torte from sticking to the pan.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the chocolate chips and melt them with the butter mixture using a double boiler or by microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Once melted, let it cool for a few minutes before adding in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, then gradually mix in the flour until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the torte cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and placing it on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the torte and place it on a serving plate. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on top and garnish with chocolate chips or fresh berries. Your Christmas chocolate torte is now ready to impress your guests and satisfy their sweet tooth.
With its rich and fudgy texture, this chocolate torte is the perfect holiday dessert for any chocolate lover. So why wait? Start prepping for your Christmas feast and add this delicious dessert to your menu. Your family and friends will thank you for it.
