Thanks so much for sharing! The torte turned out airy, moist, and packed with hazelnut flavor. I really wasn't sure what to expect with a cake that doesn't call for butter or flour but was very pleasantly surprised. It didn't taste like a "gluten free" cake at all, but I can serve it to all of my friends with sensitivities. First off I tried with mascarpone and blackberries, then served the next day with a homemade blood orange ice cream and a bit of chocolate drizzle. Both ways were excellent- I definitely feel like this humble, simple cake calls for a little bit of adornment.

Hi Vrunka, thanks so much. My heart gave a jump, thinking that you're going to be making this for Christmas! Just FYI: sometimes I offer crème fraiche & raspberries to accompany this cake...but it's really "gilding the lily" so to speak. Hope you really like it.
