I have already posted a recipy for apple compote, I always use that one for this cake: http://www.jamieoliver.com/foodwise/article-view.php?id=2556 In case you donīt have that, take a jar of apple puree, should be about 500 to 700 ml. This is one of the quick-and-easy-recipies, go for it, itīs lovely, especially when itīs still slightly warm with a spoonfull of whipped cream or double cream. Mmmmmh!
Ingredients
for the dough:
250 g flour
150 g caster sugar
10 g baking powder
pinch of salt
75 g slightly (!) mellow butter
1 egg
2 tblsp limoncello
--------------------------------------
1 portion of apple compote (see overview)
--------------------------------------
handfull of minced almonds
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Put all the ingredients for the dough in a bowl and mix it with a fork until youīve got crumbles. You can use a hand mixer if you like, but itīs not necessary.
Take a round cake pan of 26 or 28 cm in diameter, butter it and put about 2/3 of the dough into it, squash it in lightly with your hands and form a little rim all around so the apple compote wonīt touch the cake pan later.
Bake it for 10 minutes, take it out of the oven and spread the apple compote on top.
Mix the rest of the dough with the almonds, make sure itīs still crumbly.
Spread the crumbled rest of the dough on top of the cake and bake it for another 30 minutes.

Hello,
I am from Romania...and I love this cake it reminds me about my grandma cakes, she makes one little different because she doesnt use butter and on top she spread sometimes apple and other times jam with nuts....
