Linzer Torte
Linzer Torte is a traditional Austrian dessert that consists of a rich buttery pastry base filled with a thick layer of fruit preserves, typically raspberry, and topped with a lattice crust. It's usually flavored with almonds, cinnamon, and lemon zest, giving it a deliciously sweet and slightly tangy flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ground almonds
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 cup raspberry preserves

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch tart pan.

- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
