Almond torte

I have a little bit of a food obsession. But I'm not alone. Most of you do too.

As a side job I teach Italian language class. It's a small class and we usually use 30 minutes of the class to chat and to eat something wonderful.

A couple of classes ago my student Katherine brought us this beautiful Almond Torte. She made it from scratch, just a simple yellow cake recipe with the addition of marzipan into the batter. It had homemade whipped cream with almond extract and chocolate shavings. So so good.

Take the bit of time to do a scratch cake for a sweet afternoon tea time. It makes the memory.
