HAZELNUT CITRUS TORTE
A touch of quinoa flour gives this hazelnut torte an underlying smokiness that makes it more complex than most. It also makes it both gluten-free and kosher for Passover. But if you can't find quinoa flour, millet flour will work well, too, as would wheat flour (though of course it would no longer be gluten-free). With a supple, moist crumb, this torte will keep for several days, well-wrapped at room temperature, so feel free to make it ahead. Then serve it with a citrus sorbet or sweet citrus salad and a mound of whipped crème fraîche or mascarpone.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan with parchment and brush pan with olive oil.
- Combine a third of the sugar (about 1/3 cup), the hazelnut flour and the quinoa flour in a bowl.
- In another bowl, use an electric mixer to whip another third of the sugar with the egg yolks on medium speed until thick and pale yellow in color, about 5 minutes. Beat in 1/4 cup olive oil, the lemon zest and the citrus juices. Fold in the dry ingredients.
- In a clean bowl, use an electric mixer to beat egg whites and salt until frothy. Beat in remaining sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 to 5 minutes. Fold a third of the egg-white mixture into batter. Gently fold in remaining egg-white mixture in 2 batches. Pour batter into pan.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Remove pan sides. Invert pan, remove parchment and turn cake right side up onto a plate.

Tips:
- Use a food processor to make the crust. This will help to ensure that the crust is evenly mixed and has a consistent texture.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin and will also make it easier to work with.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the citrus fruits. This will help to prevent the fruits from tearing and will also make it easier to get clean, even slices.
- Arrange the citrus slices on the tart crust in a decorative pattern. This will make the tart more visually appealing.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the citrus filling is set. This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.
- Allow the tart to cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the filling from running out.
