Method
Torte Base Preparation
Prepare the Torte Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, mix tamarind pulp, flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and melted butter, then combine with the dry ingredients. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
