Serves

3/4 cup butter, sweet
7 ounces soft almond paste, tube
1/4 cup confectioners sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 egg
1 cup flour, sifted
1/8 teaspoon salt

Reserve 1 cup of batter, and pour the rest into the prepared pan. Spread the top with raspberry jam.

Put reserved cup of batter in a pastry bag fitted with #2 star tube, and pipe it on the cake in a lattice (crisscross) pattern, about 5 strips in each direction.

Bake at 350 for 40-45 min. Remove from oven, coolon a cake rack. Remove when cool.

The actual Linzertorte is made with Plumjam instead of rasberries.
