Moczka (bread cake soaked in honey and dried fruit)

Instructions

1. Cut the bread into small cubes and toast them in the oven at 160 °C for 10 minutes to dry them out slightly.
2. Soak the raisins in a little lukewarm water for 10 minutes, then drain them.
3. In a saucepan, heat the beer, sugar, honey, cinnamon and lemon zest until dissolved, without boiling.
4. Stir in the apricot jam, then pour this warm syrup over the bread cubes and mix so they soak it up.
5. Add the raisins, walnuts, almonds and a pinch of salt. The mixture should be moist but not soggy.
6. Pour into a deep dish, press down lightly and let it rest for 1 hour. Sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts and icing sugar before serving.
