How to Make Raspberry Marzipan Tart
- **Make the Crust:** In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter (cut into cubes), and 1 large egg. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2-3 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together.
- **Chill the Dough:** Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- **Assemble the Tart:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Trim and crimp the edges.
- **Add Raspberry Layer:** Spread ¼ cup raspberry preserves evenly over the bottom of the crust.
- **Make the Filling:** In a medium bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon almond extract and 1 cup finely chopped almonds.
- **Fill the Tart:** Pour the almond filling over the raspberry layer and spread evenly.
- **Bake:** Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. Let cool completely in the pan before removing.
- **Glaze and Garnish:** Once cooled, carefully remove the tart from the pan. Spread the remaining ¼ cup raspberry preserves over the top. Prepare the glaze by whisking together 1 cup powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the tart. Garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired.
