Bavarian Cake Recipe

One-fifth of a pound of blanched and chopped almonds, one-fifth of a

pound of flour, one-fifth of a pound of sugar, one-fifth of a pound of

butter, two eggs, a saltspoonful of cinnamon, a saltspoonful of nutmeg.

Put the flour in a mixing bowl, then the sugar and spices, the butter

and almonds, break the two eggs over it all and beat with a spoon, form

into a dough with the hands and roll out about an inch thick. Cut in any

shape liked, either round, square or oblong, reserving a little for

strips to decorate the top. Spread with jam, either currant or

strawberry or raspberry, and lay the thin narrow strips of dough across

the top. They should be cut with a jagging iron. Bake about

three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven.
