200g butter

120g icing sugar

2 eggs + 1 egg yolk

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

½ teaspoon ground clove

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

30g ground hazelnut

30g ground walnut

30g ground almond

120g superfine flour

¼ teaspoon baking powder

50g cake crumbs

Method:

Cream butter and icing sugar until fluffy.  Stir in egg yolk.  Add one egg at a time.  Beat well after each addition.  Put in lemon zest, ground cinnamon, ground clove, ground hazelnut, ground walnut and ground almond.  Mix well.  Fold in sifted flour, baking powder and cake crumbs.  Mix well.  Line the bottom of a 8-inch tart tin with baking paper and grease the sides.  Put the batter into a piping bag with nozzle.  Pipe a layer of the egg mixture onto the bottom of the tart tin.  Also pipe onto the sides.  Spread raspberry jam over the mixture.  Pipe narrow strips of batter on top.  Interweave them to make a lattice top for the tart.  Bake at 180°C for 40-45 minutes or until done.  Serve with fresh raspberries and creme fraiche by the side, if preferred.
