### Chocolate Almond Torte with Strawberry Sauce Recipe
#### Overview
Enjoy the rich flavors of this decadent Chocolate Almond Torte paired with a sweet strawberry sauce! This dessert is perfect for any special occasion or just to treat yourself at home.
#### Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
For the Strawberry Sauce:
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
#### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. **Preheat Oven**
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter.
2. **Prepare the Torte Base**
In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
3. **Beat Butter and Eggs**
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and stir to combine.
4. **Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients**
Slowly sift half of the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, followed by 1/3 of the remaining batter. Mix gently until just combined. Repeat with the rest of the dry ingredients in two additions. Be careful not to overmix.
5. **Bake the Torte**
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow it to cool slightly before removing from the pan.
6. **Make Strawberry Sauce**
In a small saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries are soft (about 15-20 minutes).
7. **Assemble and Serve**
Once cooled, dust the top of the torte with confectioners' sugar if desired. Spoon the strawberry sauce over the torte and serve immediately.
