Description

This fruitcake with almond-pudding cream is a real eye-catcher on every coffee table! I particularly like to bake it in the summer when there is a large selection of fresh fruits. The combination of the fluffy base, the creamy almond-pudding filling, and the fruity topping is simply unbeatable. The preparation takes a little while, but the result is worth the effort. The cake can also be prepared well in advance and tastes best when it is well chilled. An absolute must for all cake lovers!
