  • Shape the dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to fit the size of the prepared cake pan. Place the dough into the pan, gently pressing it to cover the bottom.
  • Add the almond topping: Spread the almond mixture evenly over the top of the dough, making sure the almonds are evenly distributed.
  • Bake the cake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the dough is golden and the almond topping is beautifully caramelized.
  • Cool the cake: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

    • Step 5: Fill the Cake

    1. Assemble the cake: Once the cake has cooled, carefully slice it in half horizontally. Spread the cooled cream filling generously on the bottom half, then place the top layer back on.
    2. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake and serve. It’s best enjoyed at room temperature, but can also be refrigerated if you prefer it chilled.

    Serving Tips

    • Garnish with powdered sugar: For a decorative touch, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
    • Serve with coffee or tea: This cake pairs wonderfully with a warm cup of coffee or tea for a perfect afternoon treat.
