Linzer Sheet Cake

, , , , , ,

The Linzer Sheet Cake – an Austrian speciality – is really delicious, easy to make and best of all, they keep for up to 2 weeks (if they survive that :-)).

The dough is with nuts, you can use walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds, as you like. It is best to use a tart jam. I usually use currant jam, but cranberry, raspberry, sour cherry or plum will also work.

I baked this Linzer Sheet Cake for my dad’s birthday. The practical thing is that you can easily bake it 2 days in advance and have therefore less stress.

    Thank you for your recipes, it is all very much appreciated. If you could let me know the size of the baking tray that you are using for this that would be great, as unfortunately baking trays (and equipment in general) are quite uncommon and usually pretty small in comparison to western ones which makes me have scale down recipes to fit.

    Once again, thank you so much for your site and amazing collection of recipes and pics!

      Hi Craig, I am happy that you enjoy my baking. The baking tray is 30 x 40 cm (11,8`X 15,7`inches approx.), that is more or less standard size in Europe. I would be happy to see the results. Enjoy baking! Best regards.
