How to Make Portuguese Almond Torte Bolo De Amndoa

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 5-7 minutes with an electric mixer.
  3. Add the almond flour, ground almonds, and almond extract. Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the almond mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the torte cool completely in the pan before releasing the sides and removing it from the pan. This prevents the cake from crumbling.
  8. Once completely cool, dust with confectioners' sugar or top with your favorite preserves and whipped cream.
