Directions:
Grease an 8" spring form pan (smaller if you want a high torte) and line with parchment paper. In a small bowl combine almonds, flour and salt. Set aside. Melt butter in saucepan and stir in cocoa and sugar. In large bowl, beat egg yolks until thick and gradually blend in cocoa mixture. Stir in almond mixture. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually add sugar. Fold whites into chocolate mixture. Pour into prepared pan and bake at 375º for 25-30 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around edge of torte and remove sides of spring form pan. Torte may fall in middle. (Don't worry; you can fill it in with whipping cream!) Drizzle 3 Tbsp orange juice over cake. Cool completely and wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze or store in fridge for up to two days. When ready to serve, whip cream and fold in orange juice. Spread on torte and decorate with berries and chocolate curls.
