   • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
   • Cut in the cold butter and brown sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Stir in the ground almonds and beaten egg until well combined. Set aside 1/2 cup of the dough and chill it in the refrigerator.

2. Assemble the Torte:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8-inch springform pan.
   • Press the remaining dough evenly onto the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan, making sure not to cover the rim.
   • Prepare the cream filling: Beat the egg until fluffy in a medium bowl, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored. Stir in 1/4 cup of flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
   • Gradually add the scalded milk, stirring constantly. Cook over a double boiler until thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Cover and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the vanilla extract and allow to cool.

3. Prepare the Raspberry Sauce:

   • In a saucepan, combine the frozen raspberries with 2 teaspoons of sugar and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch.
   • Add the lemon juice and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

4. Assembly:

   • Spread the prepared cream filling evenly over the dough in the springform pan.
   • Spoon the cooled raspberry sauce over the cream filling.
   • Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of dough crumbs evenly over the top.

5. Bake:

   • Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
   • Remove from the oven and allow the torte to cool completely in the pan before removing the sides of the springform pan.

6. Serve:

   • Once cooled, slice the Linzer Torte into wedges and serve. It pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
