Preparation
- STEP 1 OF 12
First, grind the cookies into powder and set aside. Do the same with the shelled almonds.
- STEP 2 OF 12
In a bowl, combine the softened butter cut into pieces, sugar, and potato starch. Beat well with electric whisks until it becomes creamy.
- STEP 3 OF 12
Gradually add the slightly beaten eggs, then the milk, mixing at low speed until you get a homogeneous mixture.
- STEP 4 OF 12
Now add the ground cookies, then the sifted flour with the baking powder, almond flour, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- STEP 5 OF 12
Mix everything well, always at the lowest speed.
- STEP 6 OF 12
Butter and flour a 22-24 cm tart pan.
- STEP 7 OF 12
Transfer the mixture into a piping bag, line the pan with the dough, drawing a spiral on the bottom starting from the center and gradually widening towards the edges.
- STEP 8 OF 12
Only on the outer edge, make another round, which needs to be higher than the central one.
- STEP 9 OF 12
Spread the red currant jam on the bottom of the cake; if you have difficulty, you can do it with the piping bag.
- STEP 10 OF 12
With the remaining dough still in the piping bag, make grid strips until they touch the edge of the cake.
- STEP 11 OF 12
Distribute the almond flakes only around, pressing them slightly into the dough.
- STEP 12 OF 12
Bake at 170°C in a preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, checking, then let it cool completely before removing from the mold and dust the surface only on the edges with powdered sugar.
