Instructions

  1. 1 Make cake: Combine 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons butter, sugar, and egg in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in mashed egg yolks until incorporated. Add flour, ground almonds, and lemon zest. Knead into a dough. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. 3 Roll out 2/3 of the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle the size of the baking sheet. Lay onto the prepared baking sheet. Roll remaining dough into finger-thick rolls. Press dough rolls onto cake in a diamond-shaped pattern. Brush rolls with beaten egg.
  4. 4 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
  5. 5 Make decoration: Pour water into a small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin powder on top. Let stand until softened, about 1 minute. Place over low heat; stir constantly until granules are completely dissolved, about 3 minutes.
  6. 6 Heat cherry and apricot preserves in 2 separate small pots over low heat until hot. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into 2 separate bowls. Mix 1/2 of the dissolved gelatin into each flavor.
  7. 7 Alternate filling the diamond shapes of cake with the 2 different flavors. Arrange almonds and candied cherries into flower shapes on top.

Remove the remaining piece of dough from the refrigerator, remove top layer of waxed paper, and cut into 1 1/2 inch squares also. Poke holes for venting in these squares using a fork. Place each vented square over one of the filled squares, and gently seal the edges by pressing with the tines of a fork. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets.
  4. 4 Bake for 9 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Dust cookies with confectioners' sugar while they are still warm.

Instructions

  1. 1 Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9-inch square metal baking pan with cooking spray. Fold a 17-inch length of heavy-duty foil to 8 1/2 inches wide and fit in the pan bottom and up 2 sides, so you can use the foil overhang as a handle to pull the baked cake from the pan.
  2. 2 Topping: Use hands to thoroughly mix ingredients in a medium bowl, pressing together to form large clumps; set aside.
  3. 3 Cream cheese filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until thoroughly mixed. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth; set aside.
  4. 4 Cake: Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  5. 5 Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer set on medium-high until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until smooth. Beat in half the dry ingredients, then the remaining yogurt. Beat until ingredients are fully incorporated.
  6. 6 Spread batter evenly over prepared pan. Spread cream cheese filling over batter. Dollop fruit filling (or sprinkle chocolate chips) over cream cheese filling. Finally, sprinkle evenly with crumble topping, pressing on it lightly to adhere.
  7. 7 Bake until batter is fully set and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Run a thin-bladed knife around the sides, then use foil handles to pull cake from pan onto the wire rack. Cool to room temperature and serve. Can be covered with foil and stored at room temperature for one day.
