Linzer Torte
A 1653 recipe was discovered, making it the world's oldest documented cake recipe, from a Benedictine monastery.
The world's oldest recorded cake recipe — a spiced almond lattice tart over raspberry jam. Linz's proudest achievement, documented since 1653.
Ingredients
Method
Mix almonds, flour, butter, sugar, egg, spices and lemon zest to a dough. Chill 1 hour.
Press two thirds into a tart tin, building up the sides. Fill with raspberry jam.
Roll remaining dough and cut into strips. Arrange in a lattice. Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes.
Cool completely.
The Linzer Torte improves with age — make it 2-3 days ahead for the best flavour.
