Yield Makes 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- Bring all ingredients to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until syrup thickens slightly and is reduced to 1 generous cup, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly oil inside of 8-inch springform pan. Line bottom with parchment paper. Blend 2 cups walnuts and matzo meal in processor until nuts are finely ground. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, maple syrup, sugar, and salt in large bowl at high speed 5 minutes. Add espresso, lemon peel, and cardamom and beat until beginning to thicken, about 5 minutes longer. Gently fold in nut mixture in 4 additions. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake torte until brown on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Transfer torte to rack. Spoon 4 tablespoons syrup over hot torte. Decorate top with walnut halves. Cool completely in pan on rack. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover remaining syrup and torte separately and let stand at room temperature.)
- Cut around pan sides to loosen torte. Remove pan sides. Cut torte into wedges. Serve with remaining syrup and whipped topping, if desired.
- *Kosher-for-Passover nondairy topping mix is usually available in the frozen foods section of kosher markets and some supermarkets. Prepare it according to directions on the label.

DATE TORTE 1939
My mother got this recipe in 1939 from her friend Clara Anderson. This is a super easy dessert with a gigantic WOW factor! When it's done let it cool, then slice it like pie. If I made a change it might be to halve the sugar, but that is all! My mother loved dates... and nuts -- she made date candy, date nut bread, and date nut...

DATE NUT TORTE
Whether I serve my torte with coffee at a luncheon or in the evening when friends visit, I always get compliments. My husband (we've been married 42 years), three children and five grandchildren are all good eaters, and it's a joy to prepare this dessert for them, too! Cooking is something I've always enjoyed. I also like sewing, quilting and gardening. My husband and I travel by trailer as often as we can, and we're members, too, of group called "Laborers for Christ" that helps congregations build churches and schools.

CARAMEL-WALNUT TORTE
Yield 10 to 12 servings
Number Of Ingredients 16
Steps:
- FOR CRUST: Using electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, egg, lemon peel, and salt in large bowl to blend. Gradually add flour and beat until mixture holds together, adding water by tablespoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes. FOR FILLING: Stir sugar and 1/3 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, brushing down sides of pan occasionally, about 8 minutes. Turn off heat. Add cream and honey (mixture will bubble vigorously); stir over low heat to dissolve any caramel bits. Mix in walnuts. Cool to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9-inch diameter springform pan with nonstick spray. Divide dough into 3 pieces, 2 slightly larger than the third. Roll out 1 larger dough piece on lightly floured surface to 10-inch round. Transfer to prepared pan; press onto bottom and slightly up sides of pan. Divide smaller dough piece into 2 balls. Roll each ball into 14-inch-long rope. Coil each rope around bottom edge of pan, pressing against sides. Press coiled dough up sides of pan, forming 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Spoon filling into dough-lined pan (pan will not be completely filled). Roll out remaining dough piece on lightly floured work surface to 9 1/2-inch round. Place atop filling. Press dough edges together to seal and enclose filling. Brush top crust with egg yolk. Pierce top in several places to allow steam to escape. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
