Engadine nut cake, also known as “Nusstorte,” is a traditional Swiss cake that originates from the Engadine region in the canton of Graubünden. It is a layered cake made with a buttery shortbread crust and a filling of ground nuts, typically hazelnuts or almonds, mixed with sugar, eggs, and spices such as cinnamon and vanilla. The cake is often topped with a caramelized sugar glaze and additional chopped nuts. It is known for its rich nutty flavor and crispy texture. The Engadine nut cake is a popular dessert in Switzerland, often served with coffee or tea. Some variations of the recipe may include chocolate or dried fruits.
