March 13th marks National Coconut Torte Day, a special day for indulging in the rich and creamy goodness of this beloved dessert. Unlike traditional cakes, tortes are made without flour and instead use a dense, multi-layered mixture of breadcrumbs or groundnuts. The layers are then filled with a generous amount of cream, jam, buttercream, ganache, or fruit.

If you want to celebrate this delicious day, here’s a simple recipe for a coconut torte that you can make at home:

Ingredients:

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch cake pan and line with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, and stir until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the torte is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the torte to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade coconut torte and savor the flavors of this special day!
