Pecan Torte with Coffee Cream

I'm really bad at writing these posts.  REALLY bad at it.  So although I haven't updated in over six months, I have been making cakes regularly.  So I'm gonna do a bunch of short posts in order to try to clear my backlog.

In any case, the cake of the week almost a year ago in February 2011 was the Pecan Torte with Coffee Cream from Rose's Heavenly Cakes.

There are a lot of pecans involved in this little baby.  I don't mind that at all though since pecans are some of my favorite nuts.

The batter is mostly egg yolks and sugar which the pecans are then folded in to.

Apparently this was somewhere in the middle of a long run of bad luck that I had with unmolding cakes.  Luckily this one was only slightly ruined and the mistake was easily disguised by the whipped cream.
 

An evening in the refrigerator and being topped with the coffee whipped cream caused this cake to dip quite a bit in the middle.  That was fine though as the dip just became a perfect receptacle for more tasty cream!
