Roughly chop the burnt almonds. Knead 75 g sugar, 125 g butter in flakes and 175 g flour with the dough hooks of the hand mixer into crumbles. Knead in the almonds. Drain apricots, drain well and cut into cubes.
Cream 250 g butter, 200 g sugar, salt and vanilla sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer. Stir in the eggs one after the other. Mix flour and baking powder and stir in alternately with the milk.
Fill half of the dough into a greased springform pan (26 cm Ø), dust with flour and smooth it down. Spread apricots on top. Heat the nougat over a warm water bath until it is smooth.
Mix the nougat and gingerbread spice with the second half of the dough and place on the apricots. Spread crumbles on top and bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for about 50 minutes.
Remove and let it cool down.
Carefully remove the cake from the mould, place it on a plate and dust with icing sugar. Whipped cream tastes good with it.
