I LOVE Linzer Torte. Haha, yes I do and I don’t feel bad about it. A Cake is a cake Cake and there it may be also times a piece more. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about whether it’s actually ok to bake with so much margarine. After much back and forth, reading on the subject and memories of some workshops, I had the answer I wanted to hear: Yes, it is absolutely ok to bake with margarine and it may also be a little more. As long as this Linzer Torte doesn’t become your three daily main meals, you can enjoy a few pieces of it anytime. The same applies of course to the Bear paws . True to the motto less is more and life would be boring without it.
Vegan Linzer Torte without regret – simply delicious
A Linzer cake is quite a simple and delicious Cake variant . Short, pleasantly sweet, rounded with the delicious acidity from raspberry jam. It is especially good in the autumn and in the Pre-Christmas , thanks to the pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg that is reflected in the dough. One Flaxseed egg , ground almonds, flour (my gluten-free flour blend also works here), raw cane sugar, margarine, a dash of cold water, bourbon vanilla, cinnamon, and (optionally) a pinch of nutmeg and cloves.
A dough without egg, is it possible?
Yes, this is possible and works absolutely without any problems. I replace the egg with a Flaxseed egg , which provides an even better binding and had no problems at all when processing the dough. If you like, instead of flaxseed you can also use soy flour or another Egg substitute of your choice. It is important that the dough gets enough rest time so that the binding fits and it is easy to roll out. A little skill is of course always needed when rolling out, but that’s kind of fun when baking, right?
For the topping, I opted for plain powdered sugar. However, also tastes Coconut cream excellent with it or a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. Of course, a hot drink should not be missing. As you can see on the picture, I have chosen a Golden Milk decided.
Let’s start with this wonderful Linzer Cake . I hope you enjoy baking and of course about a review at the bottom of this page. If you post a picture, use the hashtag #veganevibes.
