Are there ingredients you use certain times of the year. I do. I’ve noticed our consumption of Hazelnuts and chocolate goes up as the weather starts to cool. This torte is one of our favorite. I made a similar one a while back with espresso . It was very decadent and luscious and more for celebration. What I love about this recipe it’s delicious and much lighter in texture, no cream or glaze.
When Bobs Red Mills reaches out to me to work with them I was very honored. I’ve been a big fan of their products and have been using them for decades. For this recipe I used their Hazelnuts and 1 to 1gluten free baking flour. I really loved the texture and taste of both the ingredients with excellent results.
