Oma's German Fruit Torte Recipe



yes, my fruit torte recipe, aka Obsttorte,  is so delicious. With fresh berries, it's one of those great fruit dessert recipes to enjoy in the summer. I've used mixes of berries, such as raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, or blueberries. You could just use strawberries, for example, and make Strawberry Fruit Torte.

Ingredients:

2 eggs, separated
pinch salt
3 tbsp honey
1 1/2 cups ground almonds
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 lb fresh strawberries (or mixed berries)
1/4 tsp gelatin (or 1 leaf)
3 oz unsweetened apple juice
Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Beat egg whites with pinch of salt until stiff.
Stir in honey.
Fold in stirred egg yolks.
Mix ground almonds and cornstarch together. Add to egg white mixture and mix gently.
Put batter into greased 8-inch spring-form pan. Bake 20 minutes or till done.
Let cake cool. Remove from pan. Place on cake plate. Replace outer ring of spring-form pan around cake.
Place berries on cake (if large, cut in half).
Prepare gelatin according to package. Dissolve in heated apple juice.
Spoon gelatin over berries. Let set. Remove spring-form ring.
Serves 10
Hints:
