- 3/4 c. butter
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 3/4 c. firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 c. cocoa
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 1/3 to 1/2 c. slivered or sliced almonds
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/4 c. vanilla chips
- 1/4 c. chocolate chips
- 2 tsp. shortening, divided
Method
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 10 inch iron skillet with aluminum foil, allowing extra foil to hang over edges. This will be used later for removing torte from skillet.
- Cream together the butter, 3/4 c. sugar,
- brown sugar, and cocoa. Add eggs and beat well.
- Gradually add flour and then add almond extract, mixing well. Pour into foil-lined skillet. Sprinkle almonds over top of batter and then sprinkle the 1 tablespoon sugar over the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted into center of torte.
- Do not overbake. This should have the texture of a brownie. Remove from oven and then remove torte from skillet, using the foil. Do not remove the foil while torte is still warm. Melt the vanilla chips with 1 tsp. shortening. Drizzle over torte. Melt the chocolate chips with 1 tsp. shortening and drizzle over torte. When cool, remove foil carefully and plate.
