Cut the butter into small pieces and beat in a food processor until fluffy. Then add the egg and sugar. Finally, mix in the cinnamon powder and flour. Remove the dough from the food processor and knead well again on a lightly floured surface. Then wrap in cling film and chill for about 1 hour. Grease a springform pan well and dust with breadcrumbs. For the topping, mix the almonds with the powdered sugar. Whisk the eggs, mix with the cinnamon powder and orange blossom water, and add to the almonds. Mix everything well. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a round shape. Place it in the springform pan and pull up a small edge. Pour the almond mixture on top and bake the cake for about 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove from the oven and let cool, then dust with powdered sugar.
