Almond Macaroon Torte with Chocolate Frosting

A bag of almonds in my pantry were just begging to be used, so I turned to none other than Smitten Kitchen for some good ol' inspiration. Deb's recipe for an almond torte instantly caught my eye. It sounded like a good recipe to make for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Nothing too complex, but still new and different.

I emerged from my kitchen three hours later, exhausted and hoping for the best.
