This was a huge hit for my multicultural family! While being Kosher for Passover (no flour) it was consumed like nobody's business on Easter Sunday!!! I made a few changes and will attempt to upload the photo. I used Chambord liquor which is a family favorite, and instead of just drizzling the individual slices with raspberry sauce, I drizzled the entered torte, covered in fresh raspberries, and garnished with fresh mint leaves. It was ALMOST too pretty to eat! My mother-in-law has been after me to make it again ever since. It's my claim to fame because she is an amazing cook!!! You will NOT be disappointed with this recipe, but beware; it is very rich!
