A Delicious Torte
I love that this is something different from the cakes I normally make. Even though there’s no frosting and it’s only a single layer it’s still one of the most delicious cakes I’ve had! We were instantly smitten by this cake and all of it’s rich flavors. I also love the combination of textures – that soft, dense caramel soaked cake finished with those crisp flaky almonds. Mmm MMM!
The recipe for this cake comes from Tatyana Nesteruk’s newly released cookbook, The European Cake Cookbook. Tatyana is the food blogger and behind the popular blog Tatyana’s Everyday Food. She also has an amazing You Tube channel with an abundance of mesmerizing dessert videos. I just love her new cookbook! The photos are gorgeous, every recipe looks amazing, I love how she pours her heart into it, and I love that it’s filled with cakes I’ve never tried before! I’ve always wanted to go to Europe but now I can have a taste of it in my own kitchen.
There are so many recipes I can’t wait to try! Each and every cake looks dreamy and talk about showstopper cakes, every single one is beautiful! Here’s a few I can’t wait to try – the Apple Sharlotka Cake, Poppy Seed Smetanik, White Chocolate Raspberry Pistachio Mousse Cake, Lemoncello Ricotta Cheesecake, Italian Coconut Creme Cake, Triple Chocolate Swiss Roll, and the Madeira Cake. And pretty much every other cake in the book! If you’d like to learn more about Tatyana’s cookbook and purchase a copy for yourself you can find it on AMAZON. This Toscakaka Torte is an excellent recipe to start with!
