Linzer Torte

January 16, 2009

It's one of the oldest cakes in the world. The recipe dates back to at least the mid-seventeenth century. Top chef Markus Garleitner from the Pöstlingberg Schlössl restaurant shows us how it's done.

Ingredients:

450 grams butter

360 grams confectioners' sugar

6 eggs

450 grams flour

450 grams roasted hazelnuts, ground

210 grams chocolate, grated

dash of salt

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp ground cloves

3 tsp baking powder

currant jam for the filling

Recipe:

Whip together the butter, eggs and confectioners' sugar.

Add the ground hazelnuts and grated chocolate.

Sift in the salt, cinnamon and ground cloves, along with the flour.

(Don't forget to keep it moving!)

Transfer most of the batter to the baking pan. Keep some for the lattice design.

Spread a layer of jam over top.

Place the remaining batter in an icing tube with a wide nozzel and squeeze out a lattice design.

Bake for 45 minutes. Halfway through, you can sprinkle almond slivers over the cake.

Enjoy!
