How to Make Banana Citrus Almond Torte
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Add the mashed bananas, lemon zest, and orange zest to the batter and mix until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the torte cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the sides of the pan and transferring the torte to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, dust with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream or a citrus glaze (recipe not included).
