I’m always drawn to cakes that use nothing more than a dusting of powdered sugar to finish. It’s testament to the cake itself – a cake that doesn’t need extra adornment or embellishment.
A cake that’s perfect just as it is.
And this Chocolate Almond Torte is indeed perfect. Moist and chocolatey but not too sweet, the splash of coffee liqueur adds to the richness of the flavor while the ground almonds give the cake a lovely texture.
Did I mention that this delicious morsel is gluten free too?
