Currant cake with delicious almond glaze

Knead the first 6 ingredients into a shortcrust pastry and wrap in cling film and refrigerate for one hour. Place the shortcrust pastry in a rimmed springform pan. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then briefly stir in the sugar and almonds. Mix the currants with half of the egg white mixture and spread on the shortcrust pastry. Bake the cake at 180°C for 30 minutes. Remove the cake from the oven, spread the remaining egg white mixture on top, and bake for another 30 minutes. TIP: This cake also works great with frozen berries, so it’s perfect even in winter.
