Line a small baking tray (24 x 36 cm) with baking paper.

    Put the dough on it and smooth it down. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 20 minutes. Let rest on a cake rack for about 10 minutes. Remove from the baking tray and allow to cool. Stir the jelly in a small pot until smooth and warm up very slightly. Pour onto the cake plate and spread. Knead marzipan with icing sugar and liqueur. Roll out the marzipan between two cut open freezer bags to the size of the cake plate. Remove the upper bag. Carefully place the marzipan cover on the cake with the help of the lower freezer bag, peel off the bag and press it down slightly. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Cut the cake plate into 4 x 4 cm squares.
