Ingredients
  

Dry ingredients
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
Wet ingredients

  • 4 large eggs Room temperature for better mixing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your 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 together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder.
  5. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serving
  1. For an elegant finish, dust with powdered sugar just before serving and garnish with a few fresh berries on top or alongside each slice.
