Christmas Calendar 2014 Day 15 - Christmas TUC cake


The TUC cake recipe is one of my most overall popular blog posts, so I decided to twist this recipe into a perhaps coming classic Christmas cake recipe ?

I replaced the hazel nuts with almonds, as some people are allergy to hazel nuts. And besides from vanilla sugar I have added into some German Lebkuchen spice. Cinnamon alone or combination of cinnamon, cardamon, ginger and cloves could be another option, if you have no Lebkuchen spice in your kitchen.

Ingredients:
  • 150 g TUC biscuits / salty biscuits
  • 350 g sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Lebkuchen spice
  • 200 g almonds
  • 7-8 egg whites
  1. Grind the almonds.
  2. Crush the biscuits into a fine powder
  3. Mix the biscuits with almonds, sugar, Lebkuchen spice & vanilla
  4. Whip the egg white stiff
  5. Blend the egg white into the dry powders
  6. Pour into a baking form, diameter 22 cm
  7. Bake at 175'C for 30-40 minutes
