  • Pour the frangipane into the tart form & distribute evenly all over the pastry.
  • Add the apricot halves & cover everything w/ a thin layer of apricot jam. Use a brush if necessary.
  • Add the flaked almond.
  • Let it bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 min.
  • Let the mess cool down in the tart form before carefully lifting the bottom & transferring the - hopefully stable - mess to a plate.
Notes
Servings: You may cut the pastry into 6 pieces, however, you may also cut each piece into 2 afterwards. So it's enough for 6-12 servings.
The cake will be fine for 3-4 days sitting on your kitchen shelf, covered.
