Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams ground almonds (almond meal)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 30 grams sliced almonds
- 15 grams powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the almond extract and vanilla extract.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Sprinkle the sliced almonds evenly over the top of the batter.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the torte comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the torte from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then release the springform pan and transfer the torte to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once the torte has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
Step 11
Slice and serve. Enjoy this almond torte as a dessert or alongside coffee or tea!
