National Pecan Torte Day

A torte is a rich cake, usually with multiple layers, filled with whipped cream, mousses, buttercreams, jams, or fruit. It is usually baked in a springform pan, often with a sponge cake base, but the base can be made with other ingredients, such as nuts or breadcrumbs. After cooling, it is glazed and garnished. While ingredients vary, pecans are mandatory today, because it's National Pecan Torte Day! A torte is considered to be a pecan torte no matter how pecans are used in it. Pecans can be used in the layers instead of flour, be part of the filling, or be part of the garnish.
