Pecan Pie and today is y August 22 National Pecan Torte Day #NationalPecanTorteDay. I don’t know if David has ever had a pecan Torte which Charlie and I haven’t had. Have you? Is a Torte like a Pie or something different?
I found a recipe for a Pecan Torte online and was thinking about picking up Pecans at my Local Farmers Market and making a Pecan Torte for David. If Charlie has still been #Homeschooling we could have made the Pecan Torte in his cooking class and made a different Torte for David’s Dad who can’t have Pecans.
Here is a recipe for you if you would like to make a Pecan Torte for your family and friends. If you do not like Pecans what flavor of Torte would you like to have and why?
Recipe for Pecan Torte

- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the pecans and salt.
- Whisk in the honey, eggs, and vanilla until well blended.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it cool, then slice and serve!
I can’t wait to let my sister Debbie know This torte is naturally gluten-free and has a lovely nutty sweetness thanks to the honey and pecans because she is on a Gluten-Free diet now. If you want to dress the Torte up try serving it with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate glaze.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
