How to Make Frankfurter Gruntz
- Slice a 16-ounce frozen pound cake into 1/2-inch horizontal layers.
- Set aside.
- **Make the Pudding Filling:** In a medium saucepan, whisk together two (3.4 ounce) packages of instant vanilla pudding mix, 2 cups of milk, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Cover the pudding and refrigerate for 30 minutes to chill.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gently fold the cooled pudding into the butter-sugar mixture.
- **Prepare the Almond Crumble:** Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup of slivered almonds to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Once cool, pulse the almonds in a food processor until they reach the consistency of coarse cornmeal.
- **Assemble the Cake:** Layer the pound cake slices with the pudding mixture.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining pudding mixture.
- Sprinkle the ground almonds evenly over the top of the frosted cake.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
