Description

This almond puff pastry cake is a real eye-catcher on every coffee table! The combination of crispy puff pastry and a juicy almond cream with a hint of rum is simply irresistible. I especially like to bake it in winter, when the scent of vanilla and almonds fills the whole house. It is perfect for birthdays or just because you want to treat yourself to something special. The preparation is very easy with the Thermomix® and the result is guaranteed to convince!

6 piece Eggs (M)
200 g Ground almonds
1 piece Vanilla bean
150 g Sugar
150 g Butter (soft)
3 tbsp Rum
2 Pck. Puff pastry (à 275 g, refrigerated section)
1 tbsp Fat for the mold

Preparation (6 steps)

Prepare egg yolk

Thermomix® Setting

10 sec/Speed 3

Separate 5 eggs. Use the egg white for something else. Put the egg yolks into the mixing bowl and add 200 g ground almonds. Mix 10 sec./level 3.

Prepare almond cream

Thermomix® Setting

20 sec/Speed 4

Slit the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Add the vanilla pulp and 150 g sugar to the egg yolks and almonds in the mixing bowl. Mix 20 sec./level 4. Then add 150 g soft butter and 3 tbsp rum and mix for another 20 sec./level 4.

Preheat oven

Preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat.

Cover the cake

Roll out the puff pastry and cut out 2 circles the size of the springform pan (26 cm). Place one circle of dough in the greased springform pan (with 1 tbsp fat). Spread the almond filling evenly on top, leaving a 1-2 cm wide border on the outside. Brush the edge with water, place the second puff pastry on the filling and press the edges firmly. Use a knife to cut a diamond pattern into the dough cover.
