Tosca pie...mmm....

I did some great Tosca pie the other day. That + coffee made me a very happy man. :)

I'm not so accurate with all the measures and if something goes a bit wrong or not in the right order that it "should" go...well... I don't mind so much.. :D

All that matters is that you have fun while doing it and in the end you have something delicious to eat.

This one made my day and hopefully it will make yours too.

Here's the recipe:

Base:

4 Eggs

3 dl sugar

100 g of melted butter

2 dl cream

3 teaspoons of Baking powder

1,5 teaspoons of vanilla sugar

4 dl wheat flour

Frosting:

225 g butter

2,5 dl sugar

3/4 dl wheat flour

400g almond (sliced!)

3 tablespoons of milk

Melt the butter and add in the cream. Mix the flour, backing powder and vanilla sugar together. Whip the eggs and sugar in to a nice fluffy foam. Add the flour/sugar/backing powder mix in to the foam followed with the butter/cream mix as well. Stir all of it into an even paste and pour it on a oven plate. Cook it in your oven in 200 degrees celcius for about 12 minutes. During that time prepare the frosting: Melt the butter in a pot and add all the other ingredients to the mix. Let it just start to boil before you take it off the stove. Take the pie out from the oven and spread the frosting over tha base. Cook the pie still for about 10 more minutes, until the frosting gets a nice golden color.

Enjoy!
