How to Make Mom's Fruit Flan German Erdbeer Obst Boden Torte

  1. **Prepare the Crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-11 inch Boden Torte pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ¼ cup milk, until a soft dough forms.
  6. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a cake plate.
  9. **Prepare the Filling (Optional):** Spread a thin layer of your favorite custard (about ½ cup) evenly over the cooled crust.
  10. Arrange your desired fruits (fresh strawberries, peaches, cherries, kiwis, etc.) over the custard.
  11. **Make the Glaze:** For a simple glaze, melt ½ cup of apple jelly or strawberry jam. Alternatively, simmer ½ cup fruit syrup with 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with a little cold water) over high heat until clear and thickened.
  12. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the fruit.
  13. **Assemble & Serve:** Top with whipped cream. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. Best served within 24 hours.
