Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 300 grams Raspberry jam
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch tart pan or springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and egg yolks. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, cinnamon, cloves, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Divide the dough into two portions: one larger (about two-thirds) and one smaller (about one-third). Wrap both portions in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Press the larger dough portion evenly into the bottom and sides of the prepared tart pan, creating a crust.
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the crust, leaving a small border at the edges.
Roll out the smaller dough portion between two sheets of parchment paper to approximately 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into strips or other desired shapes for lattice topping.
Arrange the dough strips or shapes over the jam in a lattice or decorative pattern, pressing the edges gently to seal.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the jam is bubbling.
Allow the tart to cool completely in the pan before removing it. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
