Note
For a sweeter flavor, you can add a tablespoon of sugar to the raspberry purée before blending.
If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen raspberries work well but should be thawed and drained of excess liquid before processing to prevent the torte from becoming watery.
This torte is best served cold. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to two days.
Almond extract enhances the berry flavor; if you have an allergy, omit it or substitute with vanilla extract.
