Beat egg whites in a medium-sized mixing bowl until stiff; about 2 minutes. Beat egg yolks and sugar together in a separate bowl until thick and pale; about 1 minute. Blend in chocolate mixture and stir in ground almonds. Fold beaten whites, 1/3 at a time, into chocolate until no streaks of white remain; transfer into prepared pan.

Place an 8-inch baking pan with 1 inch of water in it on the bottom rack of the oven (this will create steam and make the torte more moist).

5
Bake torte on center rack in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until sides begin to pull away from pan and top is set in center. Cover the torte loosely with foil for the last 20 minutes of baking. Note: Don't worry if the cake cracks because the top will be on the bottom later.

Family-Favorite Spinach Artichoke Dip
This is a family favorite. It is great to serve with crusty bread, tortilla chips, and vegetables. You can substitute vegetable stock for chicken broth, or to eliminate wine add an extra 1/2 cup of stock. Keep warm in a small slow cooker or fondue pot.
Grilled Lobster Tails
Grilled lobster tails seasoned with lemon, olive oil, garlic, and paprika. This recipe takes no time at all but the lobster is oh-so-tender, succulent, and delicious! Serve with melted garlic and lemon butter for dipping.
Hot Bean and Bacon Dip with Air Fryer Tortilla Chips
This is a great dip for game day, potlucks, or get-togethers. We serve it with air-fried tortilla chips. Leftovers are great (but you probably won't have any) in a flour tortilla for a bean and cheese burrito, or roll it in a corn tortilla for a quick taco.
