Ingredients

For the dough:

For the topping:

Prepare the dough
Mix KOMEKO BROTGENUSS, potato starch, sugar, salt, and dry yeast in a bowl. Add lemon and vanilla to taste.
Add liquid ingredients and knead
Add the milk, eggs, and butter and knead with a hand mixer (dough hook) at low speed for 3–4 minutes. The dough should be approximately 28°C.
Let the dough rise
Cover the dough and let it stand for 30 minutes.
Prepare the butter-marzipan topping
Beat the butter and marzipan with a mixer. Prepare for piping (option 1); otherwise, shape into a disc and refrigerate (option 2).
Roll out the dough and let it rest
Roll out the dough onto a greased baking sheet and let it stand, covered, for 15 minutes.
Apply butter mixture
Option 1: Apply the butter mixture evenly using a piping bag fitted with a nozzle (it's okay to press it lightly into the dough). Option 2: Cut the chilled butter mixture into small pieces and spread them evenly over the dough.
Add almonds and sugar
Spread sliced almonds over the dough and sprinkle with sugar. Let rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 220 °C top/bottom heat for about 15-20 minutes (depending on the size of the baking tray).
Finish and serve
Pour liquid cream over the still hot cake and serve fres
