    Linzer Torte is a famous Austrian cake/tart you can find in many different ways. The pastry dough is always with nuts – that’s where the name is coming from (‘Linzerteig’). It’s mostly done with almonds, but you can also use hazelnuts which leads to a stronger nut flavor. For the filling you can use almost any type of jam, but the traditionally used filling is red which gives the Linzer Torte it’s typical look. This recipe uses a topping you can pipe to make the typical lattice decor, but you could also use remaining pastry dough and cut stripes… anyways – I hope you like it.

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • Deutsch
    1. In a small bowl sift flour, cloves and cinnamon together,  mix in the ground almonds, sugar and lemon zest and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together butter, egg yolks and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add dry ingredients and mix until well combined and a mass is formed. It will be a rather soft dough. Shape into a ball, flatten, cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.

    2. Grease a 13×3.5 inch (33x9cm) tart tin. Roll out pastry dough on a floured surface so it won’t stick. Transver into the tart tin (can be tricky as the pastry will be rather soft) and carefully press pastry into the corners of the tart tin and patch any holes. Trim edges using a knife to ensure they are smooth and even. Fill in the jam and spread evenly into the pastry base.

    3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). For the topping, place butter, confectioner’s sugar and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl and mix until very soft and fluffy. Sift flour, cornflour and cinnamon together and add to creamed mixture. Beat together until all is well mixed. Place mixture into a piping bag fitted with a small star tube, and pipe over the jam filling diagonally one way then the other to create the lattice decor. Sprinkle crushed almond flakes around the edge of the tart. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown in color.

    1. Mehl, gemahlene Nelken und Zimt in eine Schüssel sieben, mit den gemahlenen Mandeln, Zucker und der Zitronenschale mischen und zur Seite stellen. In einer großen Schüssel Butter, Eigelb und Vanille Extrakt zu einer hellgelben Masse aufschlagen. Mehlmix zugeben und alles zu einer homogenen Masse verrühren. Der Teig wird relativ weich sein, aber das ist in Ordnung. Den Teig zu einer Kugel formen, plattdrücken, in Klarsichtfolie einpacken und im Kühlschrank für mindestens eine Stunde oder über Nacht kühl stellen.

    2. Tarteform (33x9cm) einfetten. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche länglich ausrollen, dann auf die Form legen und vorsichtig an die Ränder drücken. Mit einem Messer den überstehenden Teig am Rand wegschneiden. Marmelade auf den Teig geben und glattstreichen.

    3. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Für die Verzierung die Butter, Puderzucker und Vanille Extrakt in einer Schüssel aufschlagen, bis alles leicht und luftig ist. Mehl, Speisestärke und Zimt sieben und zur Buttermischung zugeben. Alles gut verrühren. Masse in einen Spritzbeutel mit Sterntülle füllen und damit die Verzierung in einem Rautenmuster auf die Tarte spritzen. Die Ränder mit den gehobelten Mandeln verzieren und alles im Ofen für 30-35 Minuten – die Tarte sollte eine goldbraune Farbe bekommen haben.
