Almond torte is a rich, moist, and elegant dessert made with almond flour, butter, sugar, and eggs. Naturally gluten-free, it’s a simple yet sophisticated cake that highlights the nutty sweetness of almonds in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour (or finely ground blanched almonds)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional, for a fluffier texture)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder (if using), and salt.
  6. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes

Add orange or lemon zest for a citrus twist.Top with sliced almonds before baking for extra texture.Serve with whipped cream, berries, or a fruit compote for variation.Use almond meal for a slightly coarser texture if preferred.This cake can be made ahead and keeps well for several days.
