ALMOND AND RASPBERRY TORTE
Steps:
- Butter the cake pan, line the base with waxed or parchment paper, and then butter and flour it. Wash the raspberries, dry them on paper towels, and then snip off the blossom ends and stems. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter until smooth in an electric mixer. Add the sugar and continue to beat until soft and light, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the egg until well mixed, about 1 minute. Stir in the ground almonds by hand, followed by the flour mixture. Expect the batter to be quite stiff. Spread half the batter in the cake pan. Sprinkle the fruit on top and dot with the remaining batter so the fruit is almost covered. Bake until the torte starts to shrink from the sides of the pan and the top is firm when lightly pressed with a fingertip, 45 to 55 minutes. The top will be rustic looking, like a crumble. Let the torte cool for 10 to 15 minutes in the pan, then loosen the sides and slide the torte onto a rack to cool completely. Sprinkle it with confectioners' sugar and serve it warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a food processor grind the almonds, scraping the bowl occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until they are the consistency of a nut butter, and reserve the mixture. In a bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate and the butter, stirring occasionally, and remove the bowl from the pan. In the large bowl of an electric mixer beat the eggs until they are pale, add the sugar gradually, beating, and beat the mixture until it is very thick and pale. Beat in the chocolate mixture, the framboise, and the reserved almond butter and beat the mixture until it is combined well. Into the bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, and the salt, beat the mixture until it is combined well, and fold in 1 cup of the raspberries gently. Turn the mixture into a well-buttered 8 1/2-inch springform pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top, and bake the torte in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. let the torte cool in the pan on a rack and remove the side of the pan.
- Make the glaze:
- In a small heavy saucepan combine the jam and the sugar, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring, and boil it, stirring, for 3 minutes. Force the mixture through a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard on the seeds, and discard the seeds.
- Invert the torte onto the rack, set over wax paper, remove the bottom of the pan, and spread the glaze on the top and side of the torte. Let the torte stand at room temperature for 2 hours or chill it for 30 minutes, or until the glaze is set. The torte may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept on the rack, covered with an inverted bowl, at room temperature.

- In a small heavy saucepan bring the cream to a boil and remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the chocolate, stirring until the mixture is smooth, and let the ganache cool for 3 minutes.
- Pour the ganache over the torte, smoothing it with a spatula and letting the excess drip down the side, and let the torte stand for 1 hour, or until the ganache is set.

ALMOND RASPBERRY TORTE
This cake is a "cover girl"--its picture was on the cover of Better Homes & Gardens back in the 80s. It is fairly easy to make and beautiful dessert. I usually think of making it in the spring and summer, but it would be delicious anytime! I love it for entertaining because you can make it the day before--assembling at the last minute. Prep time only includes time for cooling though.

Steps:
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans and preheat oven to 375°.
- In large mixing bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt.
- Set aside.
- Beat butter with electric mixer at medium speed for 30 seconds.
- Add sugar and vanilla; beat until thoroughly mixed.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Add dry mixture and milk alternately, beating after each addition (batter may appear curdled).
- Spread batter into prepared pans.
- Bake at 375° for 20 to 24 minutes until cake tests done.
- Cool on wire racks for 10 minutes.
- Remove cakes from pans and then cool completely on wire racks.
- When completely cool, cut layers in half horizontally (I like to wrap in plastic wrap and freeze first--as cutting the layers in half is easier with a frozen cake).
- Meanwhile, make Almond Filling: In small bowl, crumble almond paste.
- Add softened butter and beat with electric mixer on low speed.
- Add milk and beat until smooth.
- To assemble: Spread one cake layer with one-third of Almond filling, then with 2 rounded tablespoons of jam.
- Repeat layering two more times.
- Top with final layer (You will use about half of the jam).
- Cover cake tightly (I wrap with plastic wrap) and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
- No more than one hour before serving, beat whipping cream with an electric mixer on low speed until stiff peaks form.
- Spread whipped cream over cake.
- Press toasted almond slices around base of cake.
- Just before serving, drizzle jam over cake (You may need to think it just a little with water-- I use a pastry bag with a round tip so I can maintain control of the flow of jam).
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour or almond flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- To make the raspberry filling, use fresh or frozen raspberries. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them before using.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to make the almond crust. Just be sure to pulse the mixture until it is finely ground.
- To make the torte ahead of time, bake the crust and filling separately and then assemble the torte just before serving. The torte can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve the torte with fresh raspberries, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Conclusion:
This almond raspberry torte is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The almond crust is nutty and flavorful, the raspberry filling is tart and sweet, and the whipped cream or ice cream adds a touch of richness. This torte is sure to impress your guests, and it's easy to make too!
