How to Make Almond Torta

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
4. In a separate large bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks with an electric mixer on high speed for 6 minutes, until thick and pale yellow.
5. Add 1 tablespoon of amaretto and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the egg yolks.
6. Gradually add 1/3 cup granulated sugar to the egg yolk mixture, beating until fully incorporated and dissolved.
7. Set the egg yolk mixture aside. Wash and dry the beaters thoroughly.
8. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
9. Gradually add another 1/3 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
10. Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
11. Gently fold in the dry almond flour mixture in three additions, until just combined.
12. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
13. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
14. Once completely cool, loosen the edges of the cake from the pan and remove.
15. Serve your Almond Torta topped with fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
