Recipe
The Linzer Torte is believed to be one of the oldest known cakes in the world, with its origins tracing back to Linz, Austria. The earliest recipe dates back to the 17th century, found in a cookbook from 1653, indicating the long-standing tradition of this beloved pastry. The classic Linzer Torte is characterized by its lattice design on top, made from a crumbly, nutty dough typically composed of ground almonds or nuts, lemon zest, and spices like cinnamon and cloves. The torte is filled with black currant preserves, though raspberry jam is a popular modern variation. The distinctive lattice pattern on top is not only decorative but also allows the vibrant color of the jam to be visible, adding to its visual appeal.
