BLITZ TORTE

INGREDIENTS

1 cup sifted cake flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup soft shortening or butter

1-1/2 cups sugar

4 eggs, separated

2 tsp. vanilla

1/3 cup milk

1/2 cup finely chopped nuts

1/2 pint whipping cream

2 Tbsp. powdered sugar

1 small pkg. vanilla pudding

Prepare your favorite custard recipe or an instant packaged vanilla pudding mix ahead of time (small box to serve four). Chill overnight.

Have the shortening or butter, and eggs at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two eight-inch cake pans, sprinkling with all-purpose flour, and shaking out the excess. Sift cake flour once before measuring. Separate eggs. Chop or grind almonds, pecans, hazelnuts or walnuts to equal 1/2 cup.

Sift together cake flour, baking powder, and salt, then set aside this sifted mixture.

In a large mixing bowl, add softened shortening or butter, 1/2 cup sugar, unbeaten egg yolks, and vanilla. Beat this mixture, scraping the bowl often. Slowly add the sifted flour mixture and milk. Beat this until it is well blended. Pour batter into prepared cake pans, distributing evenly.

Wash and thoroughly dry beaters. In a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form, then add 1 cup sugar and vanilla and continue beating until blended.

Spread the egg white mixture over the top of the cake batter in pans. Slightly push the batter up onto the sides of the pans. Sprinkle with chopped nuts. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Carefully remove the cakes from pans and allow to cool on wire racks. With thoroughly cleaned beaters, whip cream into soft peaks and add powdered sugar. Continue whipping until stiff peaks are formed.

Place one layer of the cake, meringue side down, on a serving plate. Spread the chilled custard or pudding mix over this layer, then place the second layer, meringue side up. Spread the whipped cream and decorate with sliced or whole strawberries, or other fruit.
