Ingredients

Servings: 16
  • 400 g Nut nougat, firm
  • 800 g Whipped cream
  • 250 g + some flour
  • 75 g + 75 g sugar
  • 1 package Vanillin sugar
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 1 Egg (Gr. M)
  • 125 g cold butter
  • 50 g Fruit mix, candied and diced
  • 100 g flaked almonds
  • 300 ml thickened
  • 7-10 Tbsp Wild cranberries
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    Dice the nougat. Bring 525 g cream to the boil, remove from the stove. Melt the nougat while stirring. Cool down. Chill for about 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Knead 250 g flour, 75 g sugar, vanillin sugar, 1 pinch of salt, egg and butter in pieces first with a hand mixer, then briefly with your hands until smooth. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Shape half of the dough into a ball, dust with flour and roll out very thinly on baking paper (26 cm Ø) in moulded base size. Put it together with baking parchment into a springform pan (26 cm Ø). Prick the dough several times with a fork and chill for about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    For the Florentine mixture chop the fruit and tea mix finely. Boil 75 g cream and 75 g sugar in a small pot. Add the fruit mix and almonds. Simmer while stirring for 1-2 minutes. Cool down for 10-15 minutes. Bake the cake base in the preheated oven (electric oven: 200°C/circulating air: 175°C/gas: level 3) for 10-12 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and spread the Florentine mixture on top. Bake at the same temperature for about 8 minutes. Carefully loosen the edge and cut the hot cake base with a damp knife into approx. 16 cake pieces.

  6. 6

    From the rest of the dough roll out the 2nd cake layer in the same way. Bake at the same temperature for about 15 minutes. Cool down.

  7. 7

    Close a cake ring around the cake base. Spread the cranberries on top. Whip the nougat cream until creamy. Spread on the berries. Chill for at least 4 hours.

  8. 8

    Whip 200 g cream until stiff, fill into a piping bag (large star-shaped spout). Spray the cream tuffs onto the cake. Place Florentine pieces on top.
