Raspberry Almond Torte



This is absolutely one of my favorite desserts.




This is nearly correct, but not quite there. I had a piece of the real thing tonight and have some ideas for improvement. Can't say I'm surprised considering how hard it is to get copy cat recipes to be the same as the original, but I have hope for success in the future of this cake!

Lessons Learned: copycat recipes can be iffy. Pastry cream needs to be thicker. Cake needs to be cooked more consistently and for less time. Cake needs to be sweeter so as to offset the rest of the ingredients in the cake. Needs more raspberries.
