How to Prepare The Linzer Torte [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Line the pan with parchment paper.
  3. Prepare the flax seed egg mixing flax seed flour with your water. Let this stand for 5 minutes.
  4. Coarsely chop the almonds and roasted hazelnuts with a food processor.
  5. Sift the flour, add the almonds, the finely chopped hazelnuts, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, salt, orange zest, and sugar. Mix them well to combine the ingredients.
  6. Separately, combine margarine, agave, cloves, and the flax seed egg.
  7. Blend them with an immersion blender until the cloves are completely crushed.
  8. Combine the dry ingredients to the liquid and mix it with your hands. The dough should have a texture similar to a shortbread. If you use a solid vegan butter or a full meal, you may need to add 1-2 tablespoons of non-dairy milk.
  9. Put approximately 2/3 of the mixture on the bottom of the pan. Push it up on the edges like a tart and cover the base with jam.
  10. Transfer the remaining dough into a pastry bag, with a round nozzle, and decorate the top of the tart as you like.
  11. Cover the edges with the flaked almonds and brush them with milk.
  12. Bake the cake at 350°F for 45-55 minutes. The surface will darken, but it does not blacken.
  13. Sprinkle the finished cake with coconut icing sugar (optional) and serve it warm or at room temperature.
