Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams sliced almonds
- 300 grams fresh fruit (e.g. berries, stone fruits, or citrus segments)
- 15 grams powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform or cake pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the almond extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Allow the torte to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the torte with fresh fruit arranged on top or alongside. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
Slice the torte and enjoy it as a light dessert or alongside a cup of tea or coffee.
