Preheat the oven to 160 ° C circulating air (top / bottom heat 180 ° C).
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).

After cooling, sprinkle with powdered sugar or sugar or cover with a chocolate icing.
