- 1 teaspoon margarine or butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 5 teaspoons boiling water boil
Caramel sauce
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Chocolate curls
- 1 bar chocolate

Steps
Torte
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Grease a 9x3-inch springform pan.
- Heat the chocolate chips and margarine in a two-quart saucepan over medium heat until the chocolate chips melt. Cool 5 minutes.
- Stir in the flour until smooth.
- Stir in the egg yolks until well blended.
- Whip the egg whites in a large bowl on high speed until foamy.
- Beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until soft peaks form.
- Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites.
- Spread in the greased springform pan.
- Bake 35–40 minutes until the top appears dry and cracked. Cool 10 minutes.
Chocolate glaze
- Heat the chocolate and margarine over low heat until melted.
- Blend in the powdered sugar and water until smooth.
- Stir in additional boiling water, ½ teaspoon at a time, to drizzling consistency.
Caramel sauce
- Heat all ingredients to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low.
- Simmer uncovered 5 minutes.
Chocolate curls
- Let the chocolate stand in a warm place about 15 minutes. A thicker bar makes larger curls.
- Place the chocolate on waxed paper. Pull a vegetable peeler toward you across the flattest side, pressing firmly in long, thin strokes. Use the side of the bar for small curls.
- Transfer each curl with a toothpick to a wax-lined cookie sheet.
- Run a knife alongside the cake to loosen. Remove the side of the pan. Cool the cake completely.
- Place on a serving plate.
- Spread the chocolate glaze on top. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
- Garnish with chocolate curls and pecans.
