Why National Coconut Torte Day?
The word torte is German and means cake, literally. Torte refers to a multi-layered cake with buttercream, jam, or cream and a rich, moist one-layered cake. Torte may be served with little or no flour, but rather with breadcrumbs or ground nuts and butter, eggs, and flavorings.
The Linzer Torte, made from a shortcrust almond pastry filled with red currant jelly, was the first type of torte to exist. It is recognized as the oldest known cake in the world, which was initially thought to be started in Vienna’ Stadt and Landesbibliothek during the 1600s.
