AUSTRIAN ALMOND TORTE (MALAKOFF-TORTE)
I received this in an email but have not yet tried it. I visited Austria several years ago, and did, of course try the desserts, which were fabulous. I am sure that this is no exception, especially if you love almonds! So, put on a Mozart opera and enjoy! Chill time is included in cooking time (there is no actual "cooking" that goes on here.)

Steps:
- Make pastry:
- Pulse toasted almonds and sugar in a food processor until nuts are finely ground. Sift together flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves into a bowl, then add to ground nuts in processor and pulse to combine.
- Lightly beat yolks, extracts, and zest in a small bowl with a fork. Add to food processor along with butter, then pulse until dough forms a ball. Form one third of dough into a disk, then roll out between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a 10-inch round. Transfer to a baking sheet and chill until firm, about 10 minutes. Roll out remaining dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap into a 12-inch round, then transfer to another baking sheet and chill until firm, about 10 minutes.
- Make filling:
- Simmer water, sugar, brandy, and apricots in a small saucepan, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until apricots are tender and liquid is syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer mixture to cleaned food processor and pulse until almost smooth. Spread mixture onto a plate and chill 15 minutes.
- Bake torte:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
- Remove bottom of springform pan and invert, then lock on side. Remove larger dough round from refrigerator and peel off top layer of plastic wrap, then invert round into pan (pastry will break in spots). Press dough evenly onto bottom, then discard plastic. Fold in edge of dough and press 1/2 inch up side of pan (side will be thicker than bottom). Press gently to close any cracks.
- Bake pastry until lightly browned, about 20 minutes, then cool completely on a rack, about 30 minutes. (Dough will puff up as it bakes but will settle as it cools.)
- Spread filling into crust with an offset spatula or back of a spoon.
- Peel top layer of plastic wrap from smaller dough round, then cut round into 1/2-inch-wide strips. (Chill strips again if necessary.) Arrange half of strips over filling about 1 inch apart, pressing ends onto edge of torte. Arrange remaining strips across first strips to form a simple lattice. Press edges together with your fingertips.
- Bake until top is browned, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
- Before serving, remove side of pan and dust edge of torte with confectioners sugar.

- Place the flour, almonds, sugar, cocoa powder, and cinnamon in the food processor and process shortly to mix everything together. Cut the cold butter into small pieces, add them to the flour mixture together with the egg yolks and the tablespoon of water and process until you obtain rough crumbs. Turn this mixture onto the working surface and knead very shortly until you obtain a smooth dough. Cover the pastry in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Butter and flour a 26 cm/10-inch pie form (preferably one with a detachable bottom, it makes things easier in the end). Shake to remove the excess flour. Place the dish in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius/ 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll 2/3 of the pastry between two sheets of baking paper. The pastry should be rolled about 1 cm/0.4 inch thick and slightly larger than the pie form so that you can press the pastry onto the walls of the pie dish as well. Remove the baking paper on top of the pastry and use the lower piece to turn the pastry into the pie form. Remove the second piece of baking paper as well. Press the pastry into the form and remove the excess pastry hanging over the edges of the dish.
- Roll the remaining pastry about 5 mm/0.2 inch thick and either cut out stripes to form the lattice or cut out shapes using star cookie cutters of different sizes (or heart/flowers/teddies cutters, whatever).
