Instructions

  1. Beat the butter until frothy. Stir in 125 g sugar, also the egg yolks. Then stir in the flour mixed with the baking powder. Spread the dough in a springform pan. Spread the jam on top (possibly mixed with a little liqueur).
  2. Beat the egg whites until stiff, stir in the remaining sugar and fold in the ground nuts or almonds. Spread the mixture on the jam. Bake at 175 ° C for about 45 minutes (correspondingly less hot air).

  4. An old family recipe from my mother`s family, it was a must for every birthday or wedding. It can be kept in a cool place for a long time and can therefore be baked beforehand. For a large baking sheet, simply use double the amount.

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.
