  2. Preheat the oven to 160 ° C circulating air (top / bottom heat 180 ° C).
  3. Mix the flour, almonds, butter, eggs, milk, baking powder and the remaining gingerbread spice to a smooth dough. Also add cinnamon here to taste. Mix the marinated fruit pieces into the dough and pour the dough into a greased and floured springform pan (28 cm).
  4. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes, the exact baking time varies depending on the oven.
