    The cake it's ready!
  • 1,70 oz of icing sugar
time:
  • 15 min for the dough
  • 8/12 hours + 2 hours rising
  • cooking time: 30 minutes
  • oven temperature: 356 °F (180 °C)

Dough:
Put a cup of milk in a bow or in a mixer. Then add egg yolks, salt, sugar and give a first kneaded. Add the two types of flour, vanilla and lastly the baking powder, or the fresh one crumbled. Knead vigorously, if using a mixer. The dough should be soft but not sticky, a bit like pizza dough. If necessary, add flour or milk.
At this point formed a ball and let rest in the bowl next to a cup filled halfway with water. Cover with foil and let in the oven turned off for 8/12 hours. I usually let the mixture stand overnight.

Good morning! Your dough is ready! Must be at least doubled, but also depends on the temperature!
Give it a punch to activate the yeast and then lay it on a floor and work them with a rolling pin to form a sheet of about ½ cm.

Cut strips of 1,5 inch high and fill with a custard, roll it like a roll and put it in the center of the pan previously covered with baked paper.
Then fill with chocolate cream in another strip, roll and place close together. Continue, alternating fillings, until you have finished all the dough.

Let stand for 2 hours.
Bake in center of oven at 356 °F for about 30 minutes near a small saucepan with a water. After the first 10 minutes cover with baked paper so that not too dry, remove the first 5 minutes of cooking.
Let cool and sprinkle with icing sugar.
