How to Make Weintraubentorte Grape Torte

  1. **Prepare the Dough:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  2. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter or margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk, the zest of 1 lemon, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Mix with a fork until the dough just comes together.
  5. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
  6. **Assemble the Torte:** On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle.
  7. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch ungreased springform pan. Press it into the bottom and up the sides to form a 1-inch high rim.
  8. **Prepare the Filling:** While the dough chills, wash and halve 2 pounds of seedless green or red grapes.
  9. In a large bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  10. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, while continuing to beat until glossy peaks form.
  11. Gently fold in 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/2 cup finely ground almonds.
  12. Carefully fold in the prepared grapes.
  13. **Bake the Torte:** Bake the empty tart shell in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
  14. Remove the tart shell from the oven and pour the grape mixture into the shell.
  15. Return the torte to the oven and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  16. Let the torte cool completely in the pan before removing the sides of the springform pan.
  17. Serve and enjoy!
