From the kitchen of Catherine Burcin<\/h4>\n\n\n

Cake:<\/h4>\n

1 1\/2 Tbsp instant coffee<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1 c cold water<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6 egg YOLKS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2 c granulated sugar<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2 c flour<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

3 tsp baking powder<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1\/4 tsp salt<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1 tsp vanilla<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1 c finely ground walnuts<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6 egg WHITES<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 325.<\/p>\n

Dissolve the coffee in cold water.<\/p>\n

Beat egg yolks until light, then add sugar in a thin stream.<\/p>\n

Sift together the flour, baking powder & salt.<\/p>\n

Gradually add the egg mixture, alternating with coffee mixture, to the flour mixture.<\/p>\n

Add vanilla and ground nuts.<\/p>\n

In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff, then fold into batter.<\/p>\n

Pour into 3 buttered & floured 9″ cake pans.*<\/p>\n

*I like to put a greased & floured circle of wax paper in the bottom of each pan.<\/p>\n

Bake for 30-40 minutes at 325.<\/p>\n

Watch carefully. It should rise in the center & a toothpick poked in center should come out clean.<\/p>\n

When the layers are completely cool, cut each layer in half horizontally with a serrated knife.<\/p>\n

Separate each layer with wax paper & put into a tight cake carrier OR zip log bags.<\/p>\n

It will keep several days until you are ready to frost it.<\/p>\n

Filling:<\/h4>\n

1 c butter<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2 c powdered sugar<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2 tsp cocoa<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp instant coffee<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2 Tbsp Cointreau OR Triple Sec<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2 Tbsp orange juice<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Cream the butter & gradually add the sugar. Add remaining ingredients. Beat until very smooth. Spread a smooth even layer on 5 of the 6 layers. Do NOT put the filling on the top layer. Stack the layers.<\/p>\n

Frosting:<\/h4>\n

4 c powdered sugar<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

4 tsp cocoa<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1 tsp instant coffee<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

4 Tbsp Cointreau OR Triple Sec<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2 c butter, softened<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1 tsp vanilla<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Combine sugar, cocoa & coffee. Add the liqueur, butter & vanilla.<\/p>\n

Beat until smooth. Frost the top & sides of the torte.<\/p>\n

Garnish.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT Cut the torte into extremely thin layers, maybe 2 cm.<\/p>\n

Garnish:<\/p>\n

Walnut halves OR ground walnuts<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Chocolate covered coffee beans<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
