Method
Torte Preparation
Prepare the Torte
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together maple syrup, tahini, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
In a clean bowl, whip aquafaba and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Spoon the mixture into small dollops on a lined baking tray. Bake at 200°F (93°C) for 2 hours or until dry and crisp. Let cool.
Strawberry Coulis
Prepare the Coulis
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook for about 10 minutes until the strawberries are soft. Blend until smooth and strain if desired. Let cool.
Almond Caramel
Make the Almond Caramel
In a small bowl, mix almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined. Adjust sweetness to taste.
