How to Make Tassajara Torte With Fruit

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon ground mace and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Add the mace and vanilla mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. In another bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1 cup milk.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or 8-inch square baking pan.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the torte cool in the pan for 20 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the torte is cooling, prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, gently combine ½ cup sour cream, ¼ cup honey (or granulated sugar), and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  13. Fold in 3 cups of your favorite berries (or sliced fruit).
  14. Once the torte is completely cool, spread the fruit topping evenly over the top.
