Brownie Torte

• 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into bits
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• coffee ice cream as an accompaniment

1. Butter and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. In a small metal bowl set over barely simmering water melt 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips and the butter, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
3. In a bowl whisk together the egg, the sugar, and the vanilla until the mixture is foamy, whisk in the chocolate mixture and a pinch of salt, whisking until the mixture is smooth, and fold in the flour, the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips, and the walnuts.
4. Spoon the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly, and bake the torte in the middle of a preheated 350F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.
5. Transfer the torte to a rack, let it cool for 10 minutes, and serve it warm, cut into wedges, with the ice cream.
