Preparation
- To prepare the butter and almond sheet cake, put the flour, sourdough starter, sugar, vanilla sugar, lukewarm milk, egg, soft butter in pieces, and salt into the bowl of the stand mixer, making sure to pour the salt over the butter so it does not come into direct contact with the starter. Turn on the stand mixer and knead until a smooth and homogeneous dough is obtained, which will detach from the sides and bottom of the bowl and wrap around the hook.
- Shape the dough into a ball, return it to the bowl, and let rise covered, in a warm place, until doubled in volume. This will take about 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, cut the cold butter into sticks of about 5 x 5 mm and store in the fridge.
- When the dough has doubled in volume, preheat the oven to 175 °C and butter the baking tray.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it fits the size of the tray. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, make many small indentations over the entire dough. With a small knife, spread about half a stick of butter into each indentation, until all the butter is used, so that small pieces of butter are evenly distributed over the surface.
- Sprinkle the entire dough with sugar and then with sliced almonds.
- Bake at 175 °C (static) for 30–35 minutes, until the surface is golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately pour the fresh cream evenly over the hot cake using a spoon.
- Let cool the butter sheet cake and serve cut into squares.
