Tips for Success:
- Let the dough rise fully for a light and fluffy texture.
- Cool the almond topping slightly before spreading so it’s not too runny.
- Chill the cream filling thoroughly before using, and don’t overfill — it should hold its shape when sliced.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve chilled or at room temperature with a dusting of powdered sugar and a cup of strong coffee or tea. It’s the perfect treat for brunch, birthdays, or any day you feel like baking something special.
