The best and safest recipe

Dough: Beat eggs and sugar until frothy, then add vanilla sugar. Stir in butter or margarine until smooth. Add the lemon zest. Combine the flour and baking powder in a bowl, sift into the dough, and mix well. Don’t forget the pinch of salt and mix well again with a mixer. Now pour the dough into a well-greased round baking pan (with a hole in the middle), smooth it out, and bake at 160°C (convection oven) for about 1 hour. Let cool. The dough may overflow, but this is okay, as it will be trimmed later. Cream: Make a vanilla pudding from the pudding powder, milk, and sugar according to the package instructions and let cool. Beat the butter until frothy. Now add the pudding a tablespoon at a time, stirring constantly. Finally, add the kiwi and mix again. Brittle: Melt the butter and sugar, let them caramelize until light brown, and add the almonds. Allow to cool on baking paper and chop finely again if desired. You can of course also use ready-made brittle. To finish: Cut the cake in half horizontally three times to create four cake rings in total. Spread the bottom ring with jam and spread a layer of buttercream on top. Place the next ring on top and repeat. Repeat this process with the remaining rings. Then spread the cream all over the cake and sprinkle with the brittle. Finally, place dollops of cream on the cake and place a candied cherry on each dollop. Tip: To cover the cake with the brittle, take half a lemon, spread the brittle on a plate or in a small bowl and dip the lemon in. This way the brittle pieces will stick to the lemon and you can then dollop the cake with them.
