How to Make Almond Torte With Mocha Whipped Cream Frosting

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
3. In a blender, combine 4 large eggs and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar. Blend on high speed until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
4. Add 1 cup blanched slivered almonds and blend until very finely ground.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, blending on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once completely cool, optionally drizzle 1-2 teaspoons of amaretto liqueur over the bottom layer for an extra touch of decadence.
11. Frost the torte with your favorite mocha whipped cream frosting (recipe link here).
