Directions

  1. 1

    Heat honey and syrup in a pot (do not boil !) and let it cool down. Chop the candied lemon peel roughly. Dissolve the potash in the rum. Put flour, clove powder, cinnamon, salt, candied lemon peel, chopped almonds, eggs and dissolved potash into a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Pour honey syrup on top and knead everything with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Cover the dough and let it rest for 24 hours. Then roll out onto a greased pan (26x32 cm) lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven (electric range: 175 °C / gas: level 2) for 25-30 minutes.

  3. 3

    In the meantime, melt the couverture in a water bath and let it cool down. Chop the plums very finely. Dice the marzipan and pineapple. Mix plums, marzipan, pineapple and Armagnac. Halve the cherries and whole almonds.

  4. 4

    Cut the still warm cake in half horizontally and spread the marzipan-plum mixture on the bottom half. Place the upper half on top. Heat the couverture again in a water bath and spread it on the cake.

  5. 5

    Decorate the cake with the almonds and cherries. Makes about 38 pieces.
