Torta is an egg yolk-based cake. This is commonly served as dessert during special occasions in my hometown Bohol, Philippines. Or even for usual morning/afternoon tea/coffee time. My grandmother made a lot of these during our christmas holiday back home in 2009. I've always loved torta when I was a child but it never entered my mind before to learn how to do this myself. Anyway, my husband ate a lot of these during our holiday and was quite adamant that I try making some when we get back in Australia. So, I asked my grandmother for her recipe on this. And my first try wasn't bad. I still need to improve on this in a lot of ways. I mean - my grandma's torta never had that brownish crust but still the inside was fully cooked. I guess, it may have something to do with the fact that she uses her traditional oven to bake these. Of course, I don't have that option here but will try to check on the oven temperature the next time. At any rate, it was good for a first try and my husband (always a great supporter in my cooking experiments) loved them. If you like the recipe on this (whoever you are) feel free to drop me your email here and I will share that with you. :-)
