Another birthday cake for my sweet little rascal. He is stuck in the train stage…Doesn’t want to let it go. Soooo, mom made a cake for him with a chocolate train. Of course, the rascal that he is complained: “Mom, I wanted a birthday cake… not a birthday tart!” Oh… where is Herod when I need him! Anyway, tart or cake he loved the train and the realistic landscape. The tart is called San Diego, is was originally designed to be a petit four. Base of sweet tart dough, one layer of chocolate hazelnut paste and the top layer of pistachio almond paste. Very rich and fulfilling indeed. Decorated with hazelnut-chocolate paste tracks and borders, ground pistachios, cocoa powder and tart dough crumbs.

Thaaanks lovely ladies…. I must add, the flavor combination was not mine, this recipe is a creation of Chef Eddy Van Dame, who was my pastry instructor in college.
Hey Sandra, there is a version of this in “On Baking” that will fit you perfectly, is called Valencias, where the pistachio is replaced by orange! I know you are a citrusy lover!
Well, one more year I survived the rascal!!!!
Fabulous, beautiful, intricate and such wonderful taste combinations and textures! Your work is always amazing!!!
