Recipe from Southern Baden

First, mix the eggs, butter, cocoa powder, cloves, cinnamon, vanilla, baking powder, kirsch, and finally the sugar using the dough hook of the mixer. Gradually add the walnuts and hazelnuts. Finally, add the flour and knead the dough thoroughly. Let the butter in the dough harden again in the refrigerator so that the dough is easier to work with later. Chill for 2 to 4 hours. Weigh out 2/3 of the dough, then pour it into a springform pan or roll it out on a baking sheet. Line the bottom with baking paper. Spread the jam on the dough, leaving a 1 cm wide border without the jam. Roll out the remaining third of the dough, not too thin, and first cut out 1 cm wide strips for the edge. Lift them up with a long knife or cake lifter and place them on top of the cake. Lightly press the cut edges of the edge with your finger to prevent them from falling apart. Once the edge is finished, knead the dough scraps together and roll them out flat again. Either cut out 1 cm wide, oblong strips for a grid, or use cookie cutters such as a star or moon to cut out pieces of dough and place them on the jam. Lightly press the cut edges of the strips to form the grid with your finger. Brush the dough on top of the cake with beaten egg yolk, avoiding the jam. The egg yolk will give the cake a beautiful shine. Preheat the oven to 150°C (top and bottom heat) and bake on the middle shelf for up to 50 minutes. After baking, let the cake cool completely and then remove the springform pan, if one was used. You can now sprinkle the cake with powdered sugar.
