Fruit Tortes
Fruit tortes are a lighter, fresher version of this cake-like dessert. Once you try recipes such as Rasperry-Hazelnut Meringue Torte, Peach-Nectarine Torte, or Fig-Apricot Almond Torte, you'll become a huge fan of fruit tortes.
For this dessert masterpiece, cake layers are stacked with pistachio ice cream, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate ganache (a luscious mixture of melted chocolate and heavy cream).
European tortes are both richer and yet less sweet than American cakes. They're often made in single layers with ground nuts and come "iced" with fruit. This torte--light, moist, nutty, topped with raspberry jam and, if available, fresh raspberries--follows in those footsteps. Cut it like a cheesecake, with a knife dipped in hot water. Note: "Earth apple" is a translation of French for potato: pomme de terre.
