Rub the flour and butter into a sandy texture, then bring the dough together with cold water.
Mix the dried fruits, almonds, brown sugar, and spices in a large bowl.
Add the egg to the filling and bind the fruit mixture.
Spread most of the dough in the pan and press the filling in firmly.
Cover with the remaining dough, brush with milk, and open steam holes.
Bake the cake at low heat for a long time, until the filling settles.
Cool completely before slicing.
💡 Tip: Press the filling firmly into the pan so the slices do not crumble; there should be no gaps between the dried fruits.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in thin slices with strong tea.
