Sheet Cake: Christmas Spice Cuts
The perfect sheet cake: christmas spice cuts recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.
for the shortcrust pastry:
- 100 g Butter or margarine
- 100 g Sugar
- 1 Pc. Egg
- 250 g Flour, preferably type 630 spelled
- 2 tsp Baking powder
for the batter:
- 200 g Soft butter or margarine
- 275 g Sugar
- 2 packet Vanilla sugar
- 4 Pc. Eggs
- 500 g Flour, preferably type 630 spelled
- 1,5 packet Baking powder or a packet of tartar baking powder for 500 g flour
- 1 packet Ginger bread spice; are available in small packages from Ostmann or Dr. O.
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 100 g Ground hazelnuts
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 350 ml Milk, possibly increase to 400 ml
Also:
- 1 small glass Sour jam
- Chocolate couverture or icing sugar
- Make a shortcrust pastry from the specified ingredients and roll out on a greased baking sheet sprinkled with breadcrumbs or spread with your hands. You can either use a tray with the dimensions 30 x 40 cm, then the cake will be a little higher (see my photos), or you can use a normal oven tray, then the cuts will be a little flatter.
- Prick the bottom several times with a fork and refrigerate until further use. Since this cake is a winter cake, you can conveniently simply park the tray on the balcony or terrace ;-)) Coat the dough base thickly with sour jam.
- Make a batter from the specified ingredients (the consistency is very soft or rather runny). Spread on the shortcrust pastry.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 175 degrees top / bottom heat on the middle rack for about 45 minutes. Then let it cool down and cover with a chocolate or icing sugar icing and decorate as you wish :-))
