Torta tre monti

# Torta Tre Monti (Three-Mountain Cake)

A delicate and visually stunning Italian cake, Torta Tre Monti is a traditional dessert that evokes images of the majestic Alps. This cake is characterized by its three distinct layers, each representing a mountain peak, and is often served on special occasions and celebrations. The light texture and rich flavor make it a favorite among both locals and visitors alike.

Ingredients:

• 300g all-purpose flour
• 250g unsalted butter (softened)
• 250g granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 250ml milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A pinch of salt
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Recipe:

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour three round cake pans of equal size (ideally 20-22 cm diameter). This is a key step to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.

2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat this mixture for about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.

3. Add Eggs: Crack one egg at a time into the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Ensure you scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all the ingredients evenly.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together flour, salt, and any spices you’d like (e.g., cinnamon or nutmeg). Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet butter-egg mixture, alternating with milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract, then divide the batter evenly among the three prepared cake pans. You can gently tap the pans on the counter to remove any air bubbles.

6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each layer comes out clean. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them. Once done, let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

7. Assemble: Once cooled, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of your chosen frosting (e.g., buttercream or raspberry jam) on top. Add the second layer and secure it with more frosting. Top with the final layer and frost the entire cake. You can decorate it with edible mountain-like peaks made from fondant or simply dust it with powdered sugar for a simpler look.

8. Serve: Cut into slices and enjoy this delicious Torta Tre Monti, allowing each bite to transport you to the majestic peaks of Italy!
