Whisk the eggs with the sugar for 5 minutes; add the butter, whisk 1 minute more. Add the flour and stir carefully. Pour the batter in a greased baking pan and bake the cake for half an hour at 180 degrees Celsius. Allow it to cool down and cut the cake in two slices. Mix the liqueur with 4 tablespoons apricot syrup and drizzle the insides of the cake halves with this mixture. Puree the apricots. Heat two tablespoons of the puree to the boiling point and dissolve the gelatin. Add this to the remaining puree and distribute it over the bottom half of the cake; close it with the other half. Cover the top and the sides with jam and sprinkle with almonds.
