How To Make elegant chocolate torte
-
1Beat eggs in large mixer bowl until foamy. Gradually add sugar; continue beating until thick and lemon colored, about 5 minutes. Blend in vanilla. Thoroughly combine flour and cocoa; gradually fold into egg mixture with rubber scraper. Fold in slightly cooled butter with rubber scraper until well blended.
-
2Divide batter evenly between three greased and floured 8 inch layer pans. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans. Cool completely.
-
3Meanwhile, prepare Peanut Butter Cream Filling: Place marshmallows, peanut butter chips, and milk in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling, water. Stir until marshmallows and chips are melted and mixture is smooth; cool to lukewarm. Whip cream in chilled bowl until stiff; fold in vanilla and lukewarm peanut butter mixture. Chill thoroughly.

4Spread top surface of each layer with 2 tablespoons apricot preserves. Place on cake layer, apricot side up, on serving plate. Spread a third of the Peanut Butter Cream Filling over preserves. Set second layer, apricot side up, on top of the first layer; spread with a third of the filling. Top with third layer; spread top with remaining filling. Refrigerate until serving time. Just before serving, arrange fruits decoratively on top and around base of cake.
