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.
