For the casting:
- 150 g Powdered sugar
- 3 tsp Lemon juice
- For the shortcrust pastry, quickly knead the flour with sugar, butter, vanilla sugar, egg, baking powder, milk and lemon zest to form a smooth shortcrust pastry. If it crumbles too much, add enough cold milk to knead in a tablespoon until it can be kneaded smoothly. Wrap in aluminum foil and leave to rest for about 30 minutes in a cool place.
- Toast the hazelnut flakes in a non-stick frying pan. Remove and set aside. Clean and peel the quinces, remove the core and cut into pieces. Put in a saucepan and drizzle with lemon juice. Pour 150 ml of apple juice into the quince, add the cinnamon stick and star anise, bring to the boil, simmer for about 10 minutes. Mix the pudding powder with the remaining apple juice and thicken the compote. Take out the cinnamon stick and star anise.
- Preheat the oven to 180 ° C (top / bottom heat).
- Grease a springform pan (26 cm Ø) and dust with flour. Press about 1/3 of the shortcrust pastry into the pan and prick with a fork. Shape another third into rolls, press against the edge and pull up about 4 cm. Spread the prepared compote on top, sprinkle with hazelnut flakes. Roll out a lid from the remaining shortcrust pastry and place over the fruit. Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for about 50-60 minutes.
- Take it out and let it rest in the tin for about 20 minutes, only then loosen the edge of the tin and let it cool on a wire rack.
- Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice and coat the cake with it.
- Whipped cream tastes good with it.
