because I miss Hungary...

.. I made a marzipan torte (or marzipan cake with raspberry sauce). If you have picked yourself up off the floor at the thought that my baking was a SUCCESS, compose yourself and try your hand at the recipe.

3 TBSP all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder (NOT BAKE SODA, have made that mistake many times)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
8 oz almond milk pulp from this recipe (or almond paste in a can). Try it my way and you get yummy almond milk for the kiddos, while the "pulp" is used in the cake.
2 eggs seperated
2 TBSP orange juice

Mix first 3 dry ingredients in a small bowl and put aside. With electric mix, Beat butter until creamy, add sugar and almond pulp or paste, continue to beat on low until well blended. Add dry ingredients, beat some more. Put in 2 egg YOLKS (put the egg whites aside), beat some more, put in final ingredient OJ, beat some more.

In a seperate bowl, beat on HIGH the egg whites until firm peaks form (took me 5 min!!). Gently fold in the egg whites with the rest of the cake mix. Pour into a wax paper lined or springy pan, this is a fluffy cake and does not do well with the flip and cool method once its done (TRUST ME). I drizzled some melted choc on top and put raspberry sauce on the side. The raspberry sauce is a bit of frozen fruit beat with mixer, some OJ and sugar. Oh yea, and bake the cake for 45 minutes at 300 degrees. Jó étvágyat! (or bon appetit in Hungarian).
