Ingredients

  • 1 cup of blanched almonds
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup of amaretto liqueur
  • 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar

Мethod of preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Finely grind the blanched almonds in a food processor until they resemble coarse flour. In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks with granulated sugar until it becomes pale and creamy. Sift in the cocoa powder and flour, then add the ground almonds, amaretto, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a smooth batter. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate-almond mixture, ensuring they are evenly incorporated without deflating. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the torte is set and begins to pull away from the edges of the pan. While the torte cools, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Once the torte has completely cooled, carefully remove it from the pan. Serve slices topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a light dusting of cocoa powder if desired. Enjoy the rich flavors and soft textures of this delightful Cocoa Almond Amaretto Torte.
