- 0.75 cups white sugar
- 1 cup ground almonds

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.

Mocha Icing
This is an old recipe I have for Mocha Icing. I hope you like it. The recipe makes enough for one 8 inch layer cake.
Easy Butternut Squash and Pear Soup
This soup is great for a cold fall day. I don't often cook using recipes so all amounts are my best guess but feel free to experiment - this recipe is great no matter what I seem to do with it. One helpful hint with the squash: It is really hard to peel so I do not peel it but instead roast it and then scoop the insides out into the soup. It's much easier that way! Serve topped with blue cheese crumbles and crusty bread on the side.
Kosher-Style Corned Beef
This recipe is for 25 pounds of beef, but can scaled down. Prague powder number 1 is a commercial curing product that can be found at sausage supply shops. You may want to reduce the amount of salt, as this amount was used as a preservative.
