Linzer Torte
- 4 ounces hazelnuts or 1 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons hazelnut flour (see Note)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 cup seedless raspberry jam (10 ounces)
- Preheat the oven to 375 and lightly spray a 9-inch fluted tart pan with a removable bottom with vegetable cooking spray.
- In a food processor, pulse the hazelnuts until finely ground.
- Add the 1 cup of flour and the sugar, cocoa, cinnamon and cloves and pulse to blend.
- Add the butter and egg yolk and pulse until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 2 or 3 times.
- Press two-thirds of the dough into the tart pan in an even layer, pressing it into the corners.
- Spread the jam in the crust.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining dough 1/4 inch thick.
- Using lightly floured small, decorative cookie cutters, stamp out as many shapes as possible and arrange them on the jam.
- Bake in the lower third of the oven for about 45 minutes, until the crust is deep brown and the jam is bubbling.
- Let cool, then serve.
