Picture of the torte in Allisa's recipe book

Does anyone have a picture of the torte, the one with raisens and walnuts on the bottom, then dates and lemon juice as frosting? I am wondering what the finished product is suppose to look like. I put mine in a pie "pan" and I wasn't sure how high to make the edges. I just want it to look nice for my husband's birthday. :)

Sounds delicious - is it in the first or second book?

I'm sure I read somewhere that there is someone with a blog who is making all Alissa's recipes. Maybe someone will provide a link.

no idea if this is what it looks like when Alissa makes it but here is what it looked like when this person made it.

A (http://www.mylot.com/w/image/1286713.aspx) torte is a low flan-type looking thing so the picture is about right I would say ... could be a bit higher by using a smaller diameter flan tin.

Thank you very much, that picture helps! Mine looks a little messy, but tastes great. :) Let me know if you would like me to post the recipe, ok?
