GRID CAKE

Dough for a larger baking plate:

1 Lb. of all purpose flour, 1/2 Lb. of icing sugar, 1/2 Lb. of butter, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 3 egg yolks, 2 whole eggs from which you take about 1/4 for glazing.

Mix all above ingredients to smooth dough. Split to two portions (one could be a bit larger). Roll out the larger half and place it on un greased baking pan. Spread fruit jam of your choice over the rolled dough. You can also sprinkle the jam with coconut flour; wall nuts or you can first put a layer of cottage cheese on the dough and cover it with the jam. From the second smaller portion of the dough make rolls about 1/2 inch thick and place them over jam forming a grid. Glaze the grid with the saved portion of 1/4 of eggs. Bake at 350 until golden.
