Cream of Tartar is not SCD legal, so go with the vinegar. I think lemon

juice will also work.

I'm making the cake from an almond torte recipe that I adapted from

Sunset Magazine, April 2007. I'm going to layer two of them with a

raspberry filling (I'll probably adapt the Raspberry Coulis recipe

that came with it...)

Finely ground Almond flour made from 3/4 cup blanched almonds (don't

really know how much it converts to using pre-ground almond flour, but

you really can't mess this up...)

Veg oil spray

1/4 cup honey (or a little sweeter depends on how you like it -- the

orig recipe called for 1/2 cup sugar)

4 lg eggs, separated

1 tsp almond extract

1/4 tsp salt

1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

2. With veg oil spray, lightly coat inside of a 10 in pan with

removable rim or any other 2 qt baking dish with sides at least 2

inches high.

3. In a lg bowl, whisk egg yolks with honey for several minutes until

it is lighter in color and thick. Gently stir in ground almonds and

almond extract. Set aside.

4. In a lg clean bowl, beat together egg whites and salt until firm

peaks form. Stir 1/3 of the egg whites into yolk-almond mixture to

combine thoroughly, then gently fold in remaining whites.

5. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake until set and

golden brown on top, about 20-25 min (the orig recipe called for 30

min, but that's too much) Let cool at least 15 min. Top with

raspberry coulis.

Raspberry Coulis:

2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries

About 1/4 cup honey (again, the orig recipe called for 1/2 cup sugar)

About 1 tbsp. lemon juice

1. In med saucepan over med-high heat, bring raspberries and honey to

boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture

starts to thicken, about 15 min

2. Press mixture through fine meshed strainer, using spatula to

extract as much liquid as possible. Discard seeds. Stir in lemon

juice, taste and add more honey or lemon juice if you like.

(I plan on using something to thicken this sauce so it will be more of

a filling for the two layers of cake...possibly coconut butter and/or

coconut flour.)

Hello,Just wanted to let you know that vegetable oil spray is illegal. I always grease my pans with butter. Or you can buy an oil sprayer at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I'm sure you can get them at other kitchen shops too. They're inexpensive. Amazon.com has several. Just search for oil sprayer. Take care,Kim H.husband, , CD 1999SCD 2002

I use the pump spray from Sonoma...it's much better than any

other I've used -- never clogs and always gives a nice, broad, even

spray
