Ingredients
For the Torte:
1 cup almond flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
For the Mascarpone Topping:
1 cup mascarpone cheese
½ cup powdered sugar
Optional Garnish:
Sliced almonds
Extra powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare Pan:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and line an 8 or 9-inch springform or cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the Cake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture and stir just until combined.
3. Bake the Torte:
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Make Mascarpone Topping:
In a medium bowl, beat mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Once the cake has cooled, spread the mascarpone topping over the surface.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Top with sliced almonds and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
Slice and serve. Refrigerate leftovers.
Notes
For extra almond flavor, add ¼ tsp almond extract to the batter.
This torte tastes even better the next day once the flavors meld.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
