Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups nuts, 1 kind or an assortment, roasted and cooled
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cups butter or margarine
5 large eggs, separated
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Place nuts in a food processor and grind until finely ground.
  • In a bowl beat 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of the butter until blended. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the ground nuts, lemon juice, lemon peel and all but 2 tablespoons of the flour.
  • In a deep bowl beat egg whites with a mixer on high speed until soft peeks form. Gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar until the whites hold stiff, shiny peaks. Gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture.
  • Spoon the batter into a buttered and floured 9-inch cheesecake pan with removable rim. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the torte is very lightly browned and the center feels just barely firm to the touch, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • To prepare the topping, in a medium sized pot melt remaining 1/2 cup butter over a medium heat. Add the remaining sugar, flour and nuts. Stir the mixture until bubbling. Immediately spoon the toffee topping evenly over hot torte, pushing nuts with a spoon to arrange decoratively. Return to oven and bake until nuts and topping are slightly more brown, about 15 to 20 minutes longer.
  • Cool torte in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a knife inside the pan rim to release. Remove pan rim. Serve torte warm or cool.
  • TIP: PAN ROASTING ALMONDS
  • Spread shelled nuts in a single layer on a baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven, stirring often, until golden, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and a smooth batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy for a rich and creamy torte.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time to prevent curdling.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients to ensure even distribution.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough torte.
  • Bake the torte in a preheated oven to ensure even baking.
  • Allow the torte to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the torte in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
