BROWN BUTTER ALMOND TORTE WITH SOUR CHERRY SAUCE
Steps:
- To make the torte:
- In a small saucepan melt butter over moderately low heat and continue to heat until golden brown with nutlike fragrance. (Bottom of pan will be covered with brown specks.) Cool butter to warm and stir in vanilla.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, knocking out excess flour.
- In a food processor finely grind whole almonds with flour, 2/3 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat whites with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt until they hold soft peaks. Add remaining 1/3 cup sugar gradually, beating until meringue just holds stiff peaks. Fold in nut mixture gently but thoroughly. Fold in butter gently but thoroughly (batter will deflate) and spread in pan.
- Sprinkle top of batter evenly with sliced almonds and bake torte in middle of oven 35 to 40 minutes, or until it begins to pull away from side of pan and a tester comes out clean.
- Cool torte in pan on a rack 15 minutes and invert onto rack. Flip torte right side up and cool completely. (Torte may be made 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.)
- Serve cake with sauce.
- To make the sauce:
- Working over a heavy saucepan pit cherries. In pan bring cherries, sugar, and water to a boil. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to sauce, stirring. Simmer sauce 2 minutes and cool to room temperature. (Sauce may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring sauce to room temperature before serving.) Makes about 3 cups.
Tips:
- Before starting, preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe to ensure it's ready when the batter is prepared.
- Use room temperature ingredients whenever possible. This helps the ingredients blend together more smoothly and evenly.
- Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly. This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cake.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) before adding them to the wet ingredients. This helps to ensure an even distribution of the ingredients and prevents lumps.
- Start with a whisk to combine all ingredients. Switch to a spoon when the batter starts to come together to avoid overmixing.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.
- Bake the cake according to the recipe's instructions, checking for doneness with a toothpick or cake tester.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will help it hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
- For the cherry-berry sauce, use fresh or frozen cherries and berries. If using frozen berries, thaw them before using.
- Bring the sugar, water, and lemon juice to a simmer in a saucepan. Add the cherries and berries and cook for a few minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the almond pound cake with the cherry-berry sauce spooned over top.

With its moist and tender crumb, nutty almond flavor, and sweet-tart cherry-berry sauce, this almond pound cake is a delightful treat for any occasion.
