Grate the orange peel (optional) to give aroma. Add almonds into the mixer and pour them inside the bowl with the rest of the compound.Stir.
Grease a baking sheet with oil and pour the mixture into it. Now, garnish it with raspberries: I like them a lot so I usually put a fairly large amount of them.

Tips
Essendo una torta vegana, in sostanza a base di acqua, la consistenza dopo cotta non sarà mai quella di una torta che ha tra gli ingredienti le uova e il burro, tuttavia, rimane lo stesso morbida e soffice come deve essere.
Raspberries are optional, but they give this slightly sour taste you can't do without! ma sono proprio loro che regalano alla torta il suo gusto leggermente aspro e delizioso.
You can buy chopped almonds if you want.
