The almond torte was a hit. I’ve made it before and people love
it.
I use almond flour to make it gluten free. Haven’t tried any of
the other gluten free flours.
I also use chopped almonds rather than sliced because we have
whole almonds at home and I don’t buy extra for this.
Would also recommend cutting the sugar a bit - it can be really
sweet. And since I don’t use salted butter, I add a pinch of
salt.

Here’s another variation. Some minor differences. Haven’t tried
this one but the only real difference is that it also uses
vanilla along with the almond extract.

This looks delicious! Do you just chop regular unsalted raw
almonds? Do they have to have those "skins" removed?
I'm thinking I will make this for New Years Eve.

I just chopped regular, whole, unsalted almonds. Although I had
some skinned ones and added those in also.
One torte can serve up to 12 people. I made 2 tortes for 10
people, and we didn't finish the first. But there was also a lot
of other desserts - 3 other pies and 2 types of cookies. My two
gluten free relatives split the untouched one.
I highly recommend it. Also recommend using the springform pan
rather than a cake pan. Both work fine for baking, but with the
springform, you can take it out and serve it on a nice plate.
It's pretty much impossible to get it out of the cake pan
without breaking it. I never tried using a deep pie plate,
although I should next time. If I remember.

Thanks for clarifying! I have a springform pan, so I'll use it
when I make this. Probably not until New Years because I am
still somewhat larger than most of my clothes so baking isn't
going to happen again until Christmas.

Oh! Almost forgot. Recommend cutting the sugar a bit also. It
can be really sweet. Good but sweet. A little less sugar doesn’t
hurt. Like if it calls for 1 cup, I’ll use about 3/4 cup.
Good luck with the clothing. When I eliminated (almost) all
sugar, I did drop a few lbs. fairly quickly.
Last hospital weigh in was 10 lbs. less from the prior. I feel
better, but it doesn’t seem to be showing as much as it feels.
🙁. But my jeans were loose last night, so I’ll take that
as a win.

[member=252]farmgirl[/member] (and anyone else interested)...
I made another almond torte for 2 office birthdays this week,
but this time I used 1 cup regular flour and the rest was almond
flour. I think from now on I'll use all almond flour. It makes a
moister torte. In comparison, the one with flour seemed a little
bit dry to me, although everyone said they loved it.
Either that or I overbaked it a little. 😳

I am absolutely making this for NYE. I usually make
cheesecakes, which we love. But I love almond desserts so this
is the year. And I really appreciate your updates.
