The Linzer Torte, a classic Austrian dessert, has a rich history dating back to the 17th century. This delectable treat is known for its buttery crust, typically made with almonds, and a sweet raspberry filling. The tart's origins can be traced to the city of Linz, where it was first created. Renowned pastry chefs in Vienna, such as Franz Sacher and Demel, have contributed to the popularity of this dessert. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in traditional Viennese cafes and bakeries. The key to a perfect Linzer Torte lies in the quality of the almonds and the balance of sweetness in the raspberry filling.
