How To Make forgotten torte

  • 1
    About two hours before the overnight baking, place 6 egg whites in a large bowl and let stand to reach room temperature.
  • 2
    Heat oven to 450. Butter only the bottom of 9" tube pan.
  • 3
    When eggs have reached room temp add cream of tartar and salt. Beat with mixer until egg whites are foamy.
  • 4
    Gradually add sugar, a little at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • 5
    Add vanilla and almond extract and a few small drops of red food coloring. Continue beating until meringue forms stiff glossy peaks.
  • 6
    Spread mixture evenly in tube pan or bundt pan.
  • 7
    Place tube or bundt pan in pre-heated oven. TURN OFF HEAT IMMEDIATELY. Let stand in oven overnight. Next morning loosen edge of torte with a sharp thin knife and turn onto platter. Torte will settle a bit.
  • 8
    To serve, frost torte with whipped heavy cream or cool whip. Top with raspberries or strawberries. I usually use raspberries and add fresh mint leaves
