Raspberry Tea Cakes recipe

Crust:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 cups flour

Mix flour sugar and butter until crumbly. Pat into 13 x 9-inch lightly greased baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.

Filling:
1 1/4 cups raspberry jam
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups brown sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
confectioners sugar

When crust comes out of the oven, spread jam over, making sure you don't spread all the way to the edges. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

Beat brown sugar into eggs and add vanilla. Stir flour mixture into brown sugar mixture. Pour over the jam, spreading carefully if necessary. Sprinkle with walnuts. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Cool in pan. Cut into small squares and roll in confectioners sugar.
