On the uppermost oven rack, | 5. or broil in a preheated for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Watch carefully, this browning can take place very quickly. | 6. Repeat until all the batter is gone -- you should have about 14 to 16 layers. When the cake is done, let it stand a few minutes before running a sharp knife along the sides of the pan.

Once the jam is set, you can add an additional glaze of thinned almond paste or immediately finish the cake with a thin icing made from powered sugar or the highest quality chocolate available (use your favorite chocolate). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
