- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Step 2
Butter an 8-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with waxed paper and butter the paper. Dust the inside of the pan with flour and tap out the excess.
- Step 3
Melt the chocolates in the top of a double boiler over hot water or in a bowl in a microwave and set aside.
- Step 4
Place the amaretti and almonds in a food processor and pulse several times, until the mixture is evenly ground. Turn out onto a sheet of waxed paper and reserve.
- Step 5
Put the butter, sugar and eggs into the processor bowl and process until the mixture is satiny smooth and no longer grainy, about 3 minutes. Stop to scrape the bowl occasionally.
- Step 6
Add the amaretti and almond powder and the melted chocolate. Pulse until well combined. Turn the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the oven, on the center rack, for 25 to 30 minutes. The top will look dry and perhaps cracked; the center will be moist. Cool on a cake rack for 30 minutes. Run a blunt knife around the edge of the pan and turn out the torte. Peel off the wax paper, invert and cool on a rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar or cocoa.
- Step 7
Slice thinly and serve at room temperature with whipped cream or ice cream.

If I want to make MINI-cupcakes instead of a single torte, how long should I bake them? (My guess is 15–18 min., but I could be wrong.) Thanks!
