Brown Sugar Walnut {possibly any nut} Torte ...
My Grandmother Jean was not only an artist but a very skilled baker. She had a knack for expertly crafting swiss roll cakes {my sister and I attempted a Buche de Noel two years ago which resulted in a chocolate mousse explosion} but her Brown Sugar Walnut Torte was and still is everyone's favorite.
It's very simple but delicious and graces the table at every single holiday, from Thanksgiving, to Passover to Chinese New Year {we celebrate all three}. We experimented with toasted almonds instead of walnuts, and I think we may be onto something ...
The egg white beating process continually amazes me ...
Normally, I would post the recipe here but it's a prized family secret.
i love your baking scenes how you take them as a series... very clever miss! yummY! i would put frosting on it because i am obese!
