Ingredients
Preparation
In a bowl beat together 3 eggs & 2/3 cup sugar until the mixture is very light. Sift together 1/3 cup each of potato flour & flour & 1 teaspoon baking powder. Add 1 tsp. vanilla to the egg mixture and fold in the flour mixture. Pour the batter into two 9-inch round cake pans, buttered & floured, & bake the layers in a moderate oven (350 degrees F.) for 15 minutes, or until they test done. Let the layers cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes & turn them out on the rack to cool completely. In a bowl beat together 2 egg yolks & 1/4 cup sugar until the mixture is light. In a small bowl sprinkle 1 envelope gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water to soften & set it over hot water until it is dissolved. Add the gelatin to the yolk mixture with 1 tsp. vanilla. Fold in 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, whipped. Spread 1 cake layer with some of the cream, top it with the other layer, & spread the top & sides with the remaining cream. Prepare green marzipan: In a bowl combine one 8-ounce can almond paste, 1/2 cup confectioners sugar, 3 drops of green food coloring, & 1 Tbls. egg white until the mixture is smooth. Form it into a ball, sprinkle it lightly with sifted confectioners sugar, & wrap it in wax paper. Chill the marzipan for 1 hour. Sprinkle a 16-inch piece of wax paper with sifted confectioners sugar & put the marzipan ball on it. Top the ball with another piece of wax paper & roll it out into a 15-inch circle. Remove the top piece of wax paper, lay the marzipan, paper side up, on the cake, & peel off the paper. Press the marzipan against the sides of the cake & trim off any excess around the bottom. Dust the top of the torte with sifted confectioners sugar. File ftp://ftp.idiscover.co.uk/pub/food/mealmaster/recipes/mmkah001.zip
