| 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). | 2. Grease a 9-inch springform pan and dust with 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder. | 3. Melt chopped chocolate squares and butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. | 4. Whisk egg yolks and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. | 5. Gradually whisk chocolate and butter mixture into egg yolk mixture until well blended. | 6. Beat egg whites in a separate bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat sugar into egg whites until sugar dissolves and egg whites hold stiff peaks. | 7. Fold 1/3 of the egg white mixture into chocolate mixture. Gently fold in remaining egg white mixture until just blended and batter is smooth and fluffy. | 8. Spread batter evenly into prepared springform pan. | 9. Bake in the preheated oven until sides begin to pull away from pan and top is set in center, about 25 minutes. | 10. Let torte cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing the sides of pan. | 11. Place chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in microwave on full power for 1 minute. Stir the chips. Continue to heat in 15-second intervals, stirring after each time, until the chocolate chips have melted and are warm and smooth. Do not overheat. | 12. Drizzle melted chocolate chips onto torte. Sprinkle crushed almonds and a dusting of confectioners' sugar and 1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, or as needed, onto the torte before serving.. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
