Time 2h11m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ½ cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg
3 hard-boiled egg yolks, mashed
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup ground almonds
2 teaspoons lemon zest, or to taste
1 beaten egg
¼ cup water
3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
½ cup cherry preserves
½ cup apricot preserves
¼ cup candied cherries, halved, or more as needed
¼ cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, and egg in a bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in mashed egg yolks. Add flour, ground almonds, and lemon zest. Knead into a dough. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out 2/3 of the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle the size of the baking sheet. Lay onto the prepared baking sheet. Roll remaining dough into finger-thick rolls. Press dough rolls onto the cake in a diamond-shaped pattern. Brush rolls with beaten egg.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Pour 1/4 cup water into a saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin powder on top. Let stand until softened, about 1 minute. Place over low heat; stir constantly until granules are completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  • Heat cherry and apricot preserves in 2 small pots over low heat until hot. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Mix half of the dissolved gelatin into each flavor. Alternate filling the diamond shapes of the cake with the 2 different flavors. Arrange sliced almonds and candied cherries into flower shapes on top.

6 ounces butter (room temperature)
4 tablespoons sugar
2 ounces almonds (ground blanched, 6 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (grated)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 large egg yolks (hard-boiled, sieved)

  • Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender, two knives, a food processor, or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Work in the sugar. Add the egg and 2 tablespoons of milk, adding more milk if needed to form a cohesive mass.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4 inch thickness. Carefully transfer the dough to your pan. Trim the dough to fit the pan, making a raised edge around the edge of the pan. Chill for 30 minutes to an hour. Poke holes in the crust with a fork every couple of inches. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the edges just begin to take on a golden color.
  • Warm the jam, so it will spread easily. I also blitzed the warm jam with an immersion blender to make the pieces of fruit smaller. Spread a layer of jam over the crust, a scant coating up to 1/8 inch thick.
