Considered to be the oldest cake in the world, Linzer Torte is a true Austrian classic. It’s often served with a big dollop of whipped cream and dusted with confectioners’ sugar. Create a pile of flour on the work surface, slice the butter into cubes, and rub between the fingers into the flour to create a light crumb.
The cake is named after the city of Linz in Austria. Even though it is said to be the oldest cake in the world nobody really knows exactly when it was invented. The oldest recipe that has been found is from 1653.
This recipe for an authentic Austrian Linzertorte is from my mother who grew up in Linz and still lives there. She always bakes the torte 3 days ahead because it develops its real flavor over a few days. Place flour, ground almonds, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and cloves on a clean work surface.
