mixer bowl, combine the chocolate mixture, sugar, and vanilla and
beat well. Add the egg yolks, beating well after each addition. Blend
in the flour and water, and beat well. Stir in the pecans. Clean the
mixer beaters very well and in a small bowl beat the egg whites,
cream of tartar, and salt until stiff peaks form; carefully fold the
egg whites into the chocolate mixture. Pour the batter into the
prepared pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until the top appears dry, (The
torte will NOT test done in the center).

Cool 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate until firm. Remove the side of
the pan. Invert onto a serving plate and carefully remove the bottom
of the pan and the foil. Pour the Chocolate Glaze over the torte
spreading evenly on the top and sides.
