Description

This confetti cake is a real eye-catcher at any birthday! The fluffy dough, refined with almonds and vanilla, is layered with fruity jam and filled with colorful chocolate lentils and sugar sprinkles. The preparation is a little more complex, but the result is worth every effort. I have been baking this cake for children's birthdays for years and it is always a hit. The combination of sweet dough, fruity filling and the crackle of chocolate lentils is simply irresistible. An absolute favorite recipe!
