Description

Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. You can use absolutely any dried fruits you like. If desired, you can soak them in your favorite alcohol, for example, if the cake is intended only for adults. Before serving, dust the cake with powdered sugar or top with icing, for instance. The key highlight, undoubtedly, is the almond paste—without it, the recipe just won't be the same. Give it a try. The pastry is ready. Serve at the table.
