Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Torte on the menu? Try pairing with Cream Sherry, Alcoholic Drink, and Ingredient. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. You could try NV Solera Cream Sherry. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry

The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.

Instructions

  1. For the torte: Whip the egg whites with the dash of salt until they form stiff peaks.
  2. Whip in the honey and gently fold into the ground almonds and cardamom seeds.
  3. Place mixture on well greased trays (or use baking paper). I like to divide the mixture into four on two trays.
  4. Spread the mixture out to about a 3/4 of an inch thick and in a circle.
  5. Bake at about 250 to 300 degrees F for around 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them and dont let them burn on the bottom.
  6. For the cherry filling: I advise soaking the dates in boiling water for about 5 minutes and put them through a tami or puree them so any skins are removed.
  7. Heat the cherries and water gently in a saucepan with the lid on until they are hot.
  8. Remove the lid and add the dates and reduce the juices down.
  9. Turn the heat off and cool slightly before adding the rose water.
  10. To put the torte together: Whip fresh cream and add honey.
  11. On one layer of torte add the cherries and then the cream.
  12. Put another layer of torte and repeat.
