TWD: Chocolate Amaretti Torte


Believe it or not, by the end of this month I will be a bit overdosed on “chocolate”.. haha..For those of you who don’t know what I mean, for the next three weeks at TWD, we will have chocolate on our menu – yeah, chocolate, chocolate and chocolate!!. Not just that, as Easter has just passed, we have had a fair few pieces of chocolate by now. I am guessing my left and right thighs gonna have a little reunion fairly soon. D’oh!!!

Back to this week’s baking, I couldn’t find any Amaretti in our local supermarket. I then substituted the Amaretti with almond cookies. The cake turned out great, Steve loved it!! It had wonderful almond flavour and .. of course, it was very rich too !! Thanks to Holly for choosing this recipe.

What? You can overdose on chocolate? That is news to me. Love how nice you made the torte look. I was a bit sloppy, I fear. I am the imperfect baker.
