Did you know that Linzer Torte, named after the Austrian city Linz, is considered the oldest form of ‘cake’? The oldest hand-written recipe of the lattice-decorated beauty was found hidden in the secret diary of Countess Anna – dated 1653. Our pastry chefs pick out, from their secret diary, an A1 Linzer Torte recipe. The creamy star of this dessert – the Linzer Mix – whipped together using butter, sugar, eggs, powdered cashew, flour, eggs, vanilla and cinnamon, is layered over sweet paste with crumbled vanilla-sponge and mixed-fruit jam. Your sweet-paste lattice adorning Linzer Torte does a quick trip to a hot oven and a good quarter-hour later out comes a yummy treat. You will love it! Try? Serves 1.
