Recipe: Almond Torte
Here’s a delicious recipe to try I found in the Betty Crocker Italian Cooking cookbook. It is easy to make and tastes great.
Almond Torte
1-1/2 cups slivered almonds
2-1/2 ups flour
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter softened
2 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 Tbsp. sugar
Sliced strawberries if desired
Whipped cream topping if desired
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds in ungreased shallow pan. Bake uncovered about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown; cool. Finely chop, set aside. Grease round pan. Mix flour, 1 cup sugar, the baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir in almonds, butter, almond extract, vanilla, and eggs until stiff dough forms. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place in pan. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack. Cut into wedges. Serve with strawberries and whipped cream.
Enjoy!
