Instructions

  1. The recipe dates back to the last millennium, my grandma already baked the cake like this!
  2. Mix the butter, also liquid, and the sugar until frothy. Then add the vanilla sugar and the egg and stir. Mix the flour and baking powder and add to the mixture. Knead with the dough hook, then knead again by hand. Grease the baking pan with a smooth base and, if necessary, sprinkle with nuts (instead of breadcrumbs).
  3. Line the base with half of the dough. Then lay out the fruit or jam (it will become a fill up cake!) On the floor.
  4. In the case of canned fruit, collect the juice and thicken it with potato flour or icing and pour it over the fruit. You can also use applesauce if it is not too thin. If you want, you can also sprinkle ground nuts on the fruit. Then crumble up the remaining dough. Bake at 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
  5. Alternative: Instead of sugar, I take 160-180 g of fructose. Then I only bake at 160 degrees and leave the cake in the oven a little longer.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
