    Roll out about 2/3 of the dough to a circle (approx. 29 cm Ø). Put the dough into a greased and flour-sprinkled springform pan (26 cm Ø) and press the rim slightly. Spread the base with jam, spread cream on it and smooth it down

    Roll out the remaining dough into a circle (approx. 26 cm Ø), place carefully on the cream layer and close the adjacent dough edges by pressing them together. Mix the last egg yolk with a little water and brush the dough with it. Score lozenges into the dough cover with a knife. Bake the cake for approx. 40 minutes in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer). Remove from the oven, let it cool down, remove from the mould and serve cooled down
