Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 c Margarine
2 1/4 c Sugar
Egg replacer
-- (equivalent of 3 eggs)
3 tb Fresh lemon juice
1 pn Salt
2 1/2 c All-purpose flour
2 1/2 ts Baking powder
3/4 c Soy milk, plain or vanilla
2 c Chopped walnuts or almonds
1/2 c Vegan marzipan

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

To prepare the dough, cream the margarine with 3/4 cup
sugar until fluffy. Add the egg replacer, lemon juice,
and salt and mix well. Add the flour and baking
powder, and mix until a soft dough is formed.

Place two-thirds of the dough on a sheet of plastic
wrap. With a rolling pin, roll the dough into a
circle about 11 inches in diameter. Invert the dough
into a 9-inch springform pan. Peel the plastic wrap
off the dough and press the dough into the bottom and
up the sides of the pan. Trim the edges if needed.
Roll the remaining dough into a circle about 9 inches
in diameter and set aside. This will be used to top
the torte.

To prepare the filling, stir 1 cup of the sugar in a
large heavy saucepan over low heat until the sugar is
dissolved. Increase the heat and boil the sugar unti
it turns a caramel color. Add the soy milk (which
will bubble vigorously) along with the nuts and the
rest of the sugar. Cook over high heat, stirring
constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and
beat the marzipan into the mixture. When it is well
mixed, pour it into the cake pan and put the
rolled-out dough on top.

Bake the torte until golden brown, about 35 minutes.
Cool completely before removing the springform.
