STRAWBERRY & CINNAMON TORTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/gas4/ fan 160C. Line the base of a loose-bottomed 23cm cake tin with greaseproof paper and butter the sides.
• Mix almonds, butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon, egg and egg yolk in a food processor just until the ingredients are evenly combined.
• Spread half the mixture over the base of the tin in a smooth layer with no gaps - easiest to do this with two forks. Lay the sliced strawberries on top. Add the remaining cake mixture and spread it as best you can, but don't worry if a few strawberries peep through.
• Bake for 1 hour (it may need an extra 5 minutes), but check after 40 minutes - if it is getting too brown, cover loosely with foil. The torte should be slightly risen and dark golden brown when cooked.
• Cool in the tin slightly, then loosen the edges with a knife and remove from the tin. Slide the torte onto a plate and sprinkle with a dusting of icing sugar. Serve warm or cold, in wedges with dollops of cream and Greek yogurt.

CHOCOLATE ALMOND TORTE

Steps:

• 1. Crust: Place broken chocolate pieces, sugar and almonds into a food processor or blender. Process for about 20 to 25 seconds until the mix is like powder. Then add flour, butter and salt. Process 15 to 20 pulses or until butter is in very fine pieces. Add egg and vanilla and pulse about 15 times until mixture sticks together when pinched with fingers. Place the mixture on plastic wrap and need a few times to bring dough together to form a ball. Place the dough into a 10 1/2 in. flat tart pan with 1" fluted sides. The dough will be very sticky, I have found that using a small icing knife that is slightly wet makes the job easier. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes until shell springs back when touched. Cool and remove outside rind of pan. Crust may be made a day ahead if you wish.
• 2. Filling: In a small mixer bowl, beat butter with sugar and egg until light and fluffy. Melt broken chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Add warm chocolate to creamed mixture and beat well. Mix in cream and vanilla, beating until thick and creamy. Spread evenly over crust.
• 3. While the filling is still soft, arrange the fruit on the top. Every time I make this tart it is different. Depending on what is in season and what looks pretty. Here is where you get to use your imagination.
• 4. Take apricot or peach jam or preserves and strain through a cheese cloth. Then glaze the top with a pastry brush. Chill about 2 hours and let stand 30 minutes at room temperature before serving. Enjoy.
