Ingredients:
- 100g butter
- 225g vanilla essence
- 225g eggs (approximately 3 large eggs)
- 1 orange
- 3 tablespoons polenta
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 225g almonds
- 1 pinch of salt
- Creme fraiche (for serving)
- Almond liqueur (for drizzling)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Prepare a 9-inch springform cake tin by greasing it with butter and lightly flouring it.
- Beat the butter in a mixing bowl until it becomes pale and soft.
- Gradually add the sugar to the butter, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Stir in the almonds and vanilla essence until well combined.
- Add the eggs to the mixture one at a time, ensuring each egg is thoroughly incorporated before adding the next.
- Zest and juice the orange, then fold both the zest and juice into the batter.
- Incorporate the polenta, baking powder, and a pinch of salt into the batter, mixing until everything is evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared cake tin, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the torte is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the torte from the oven and allow it to cool slightly in the tin before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve slices of the torte with a dollop of creme fraiche on the side, and for an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle with almond liqueur before serving.
This Orange and Almond Torte is a celebration of flavors and textures, with the citrusy brightness of the oranges complementing the richness of the almonds. Perfect for dessert enthusiasts looking for a treat that’s both simple to make and absolutely delicious!
