Almond Flour Linzer Torte
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup raspberry jam
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the almond flour mixture. Use your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pour the egg mixture into the almond flour mixture and stir until a dough forms.
- Press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared tart pan. Spread the raspberry jam over the dough in the pan.
- Roll out the remaining dough on a piece of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes, such as hearts or stars. Carefully place the cutouts on top of the raspberry jam.
- Bake the Linzer Torte in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Allow the torte to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the sides of the pan and transfer the torte to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the torte is completely cool, dust it with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
