Cooking
Black currants to defrost, place in a colander to glass liquid. Almonds are divided into two parts, one of which is to grind into flour, and the second cut into slices.
Dried to wash with hot water, cherry and kumquat (I have dried lemons) cut.
Take the paste. Sift the flour, add a pinch of salt and sugar. With a knife slice the cold butter, then chop it together with flour into crumbs.
Add 4 tablespoons of ice water and quickly knead the elastic dough. Press it into a flat cake and wrap in plastic wrap. Leave in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Prepare the stuffing. Large capacity sieve 70 g of flour, add the sugar, ginger and cinnamon, pepper, almond flour. Stir.
Add black currants and shaking the bowl, stir so that the flour has covered all the berries.
Add the previously prepared dried fruits, pieces of nuts, stir.
The dough thinly roll out between layers of plastic wrap. I cut so the shape size, crop, gather into a ball (of them make a "cap").
Form (I 23*9*6) oil and put the dough, stung the dough at the corners.
Whisk eggs with yogurt (the original recipe with buttermilk), pour in the whiskey, stir.
Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the dried fruit, stir. Then very tight, without voids spread the filling in the form with the dough.
Remains of dough roll out into a rectangle the size of the form,
The resulting cap cover suscipiam the filling and dough edges. Take a long wooden skewer in several places pierce the cake trying to reach almost to the bottom to make steam come out. Send the cake in a preheated 170 degree oven and bake for 2.5 hours. If the top is heavily browned, cover it with foil.
