Quick Note
Butter – I used organic, unsalted butter. For this recipe the butter must be at room temperature.
Chocolate – I used semi sweet chocolate but you can use dark or unsweetened.
Eggs – use large, organic eggs (say hello to your local farmers market)
Heavy Cream – I used 35%
Walnuts – I bought the walnuts from the Costco. (in my opinion the best price. $15 for 1 kg)
FINAL NOTE for the best REFORM TORTA
This recipe is MUST MAKE!
It is an old fashion traditional recipe from Serbia.
And let me say again: The best chocolate dessert where the cake is almost invisible because the chocolate filling is the BIG BOSS! You will love, love this cake.
