Line the bottom of a springform pan (26 cm Ø) with baking paper. Add the dough and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven 2nd shelf from below (electric oven: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for 50-60 minutes. Let cool on a cake rack. Warm up the jam and pass through a sieve.

Spray a fir tree onto the cake with decorative cream and decorate with gold and silver beads. Cream tastes good with it
