National Pecan Torte Day

Pecan torte is a type of dessert cake that is made with ground pecans and a relatively small amount of flour, resulting in a dense and nutty texture. The pecans are typically toasted before being ground, which enhances their flavor and aroma. Pecan tortes are often sweetened with sugar or honey and may contain other ingredients like eggs, butter, and vanilla extract to add richness and depth of flavor. They are often served with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar. Pecan tortes are popular in the Southern United States and are often enjoyed as a holiday dessert.
