**UPDATE** A lot of folks had trouble finding Amaretti cookies. I’m lucky to live in an area where these are not an exotic item, but you know where I get them? Amazon!**
This week, one of my favorite food bloggers, Holly of Phe/Mom/enon, picked 15 Minute Magic Chocolate Amaretti Torte, which you can find on pages 276 and 277 of Baking: From My Home to Yours. (You can also find the recipe on Holly’s blog.)
DING! DING! DING! WE HAVE ANOTHER WINNER! Now, I know that photo doesn’t look like much, and I eliminated the ganache glaze and the whipped cream topping, but this is one fantastic dessert. Moist, fudgy, chocolaty with a hint of almond, and great texture because of the ground almonds in the batter. I would definitely serve this to guests with the glaze and whipped cream – I think it’s that good.
Now, I suggest you go off to the TWD blogroll to see what others did this week!

Looks great! I wish I’d left the ganache off because it really made the torte a bit too rich for me.
Looks wonderful.
I need me some chocolate.
Looks great! We really loved it too, once we got over the fact that it took much longer than 15 minutes!
This looks so yummy! I love the little pieces of cookies and almonds peaking out!
I’m glad the torte was a success for you. Your’s looks great.
Looks lovely… I skipped the glaze too, and loved it regardless. 🙂
Maybe leaving the glaze off was the secret to a successful dessert. Because we didn’t enjoy this at all!
The inside texture of this is just gorgeous…how did you get that photo???? I tried, but could not get anything like this shot…wonderful job! Your torte looks perfect!
It does look moist. And those pieces of almond, yummeee!
This cake looks so moist and yummy!
Beautiful close up of the torte…so moist and love seeing the bits of almond. I agree, this is definitely a keeper!
