Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 200 °C top and bottom heat and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2
Unroll the puff pastry and cut out three circles of 24 cm diameter, using a plate as a guide. Prick the discs several times with a fork.
3
Bake the discs one after the other on the middle shelf until golden brown and crisp.
4
Let the discs cool completely on a wire rack.
5
Whip the cream with the cream stabiliser, the sugar and the vanilla sugar until stiff.
6
Place the first disc on a cake plate, spread it with half of the plum butter and spread a third of the cream on top.
7
Lay on the second disc, spread it with the rest of the plum butter and again spread a third of the cream over it.
8
Dust the third disc with the icing sugar, lay it on carefully and pipe the remaining cream in rosettes around the edge.
9
Chill the cake so that the layers settle.
10
Cut the Friesentorte into 12 slices with a serrated knife.
