American Club Three Nut Torte
Ingredients:
– 1 cup almonds, toasted and finely chopped
– 1 cup walnuts, toasted and finely chopped
– 1 cup pecans, toasted and finely chopped
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– Pinch of salt
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2. In a large bowl, combine the almonds, walnuts, and pecans. Set aside a small portion of this nut mixture for garnishing later.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and melted butter until well combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Gently fold in the majority of the nut mixture, reserving some for the topping.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved nut mixture on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once the torte has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.
