Allemande Torte

In the broadest sense the Viennese Torte is almost any form of cake, but it is generally an inspired confection made from baked meringue or spongecake with delicate fillings such as whipped cream or buttercream. Such goodness may be compounded with the addition of ground almonds or hazelnuts and the fillings flavored with perfumed liqueurs such as framboise or kirsch or with chocolate, coffee or rum.
