Raspberry crumble slice

I visited Austria many times with my parents as I grew up very close to the Austrian border.

This recipe it’s my version of a Linzer torte, from the Austrian city of Linz, a delicious jam tart with a soft and fragrant pastry. It brings me memory of coffee shops and patisseries, coffee served with whipped cream and thick slices of cake.

Enjoy it!
