Ingredients

for the dough

  • 120 g sugar
  • 130 g vegan margarine (cold)
  • 30 g soy flour
  • approx. 70 ml water
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 10 g baking powder
  • 320 g flour

for the topping

  • 200 g finely chopped almonds
  • 200 g finely chopped hazelnuts
  • 160 g vegan margarine
  • 130 g sugar

for the intermediate layer

  • 150 g apricot jam

for dipping

  • approx. 150 g dark chocolate

Instructions

Preparation of the dough

  • Mix flour, sugar, soy flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add cold margarine cut into pieces and chop it finely.
  • Gradually add water and knead it into a soft dough.
  • Line the baking sheet with baking paper, put the dough on the baking sheet and roll it out evenly all over the baking sheet. Alternatively, you can roll out the dough on the baking paper into a square the size of the baking sheet and then place it on the baking sheet.
  • Spread the apricot jam thinly and evenly on the dough.

Preparation of the topping

  • Put margarine and sugar in a saucepan and melt both together while stirring.
  • Add almonds and hazelnuts and heat briefly, stirring constantly.
  • Spread the hot nut mixture evenly over the dough with the apricot jam and smooth it out.
  • Bake the nut corners cake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 25 minutes and let it cool down a bit afterwards. Cut it into triangles while it is still warm and let the nut corners cool completely.
  • Melt dark chocolate. Dip the pointed corners of the nut corners into the melted chocolate, spread the pastry on a sheet of baking paper and let the chocolate dry.

Notes

  • Any nuts can be used.
  • Instead of apricot jam, any other jam will work.
  • Soy flour serves as an egg substitute in the recipe.
  • If you don't necessarily want to make your nut corners vegan, you can use butter instead of vegan margarine and regular eggs instead of soy flour. You would then need 2 eggs for the recipe.
  • The amount of water in the recipe may vary. Add just enough water little by little until the dough is not too sticky, but also not too dry.
