Cream fat and sugar. Add lemon zest. Stir in eggs and milk. Mix flour and baking powder and stir in. Fill the dough into a greased springform pan (24 cm Ø).
Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 175 °C/ gas: level 2) for approx. 25 minutes. Then let it cool down a little and sprinkle with 50 ml grape juice. Wash the grapes, cut them in half, remove the seeds and spread 2/3 on the bottom.
Soak gelatine in cold water. Drain the apricots, put 6 halves aside and puree the rest. Stir cream cheese, lemon juice and vanillin sugar until smooth. Add the apricot puree. Squeeze the gelatine, dissolve lukewarm, add the remaining grape juice and fold into the cream.
Cover the base with a springform pan rim and spread the cream cheese on the base. Chill for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the mould. Spread the remaining grapes and apricot halves on the cake.
Heat the jam. Spread on the fruit and on the edge of the cake. Press the almond-nut-sticks diagonally to the edge of the cake. Garnish the cake with vine leaves and serve dusted with icing sugar. Makes about 12 pieces.
