Grandpa's mustache
Many of us make this type of cake and everyone makes it in their own way, this is my mom's recipe, and as you know, mom's recipes are the best for us.
Preparation steps
- Sift 350 g of flour with baking powder and make a depression. Add lightly beaten egg yolks, butter, milk, sugar and vanilla. Knead a smooth dough and set aside while you prepare the filling.
- Whisk the egg whites and gradually add the sugar until you get a nice thick mixture, add the ground walnuts and, if you like, a spoonful of cocoa. I didn't add cocoa. Set the filling aside.
- Lightly dust the work surface. Divide the dough into two parts (in my original recipe, divide the dough into three parts) and spread it on the length of the baking tray.
- Coat the whole melted dough with half of the apricot jam and coat the dough with half of the whipped egg white and walnut filling, wrap in a roll on both sides of the dough along the longer part and place in a baking tray on which you have placed the baking paper. If you put the dough in a narrow tray that has edges, the dough will spread wide and you will have narrower pieces when you cut it, for me the tray was 23cm X 42cm and the dough spread a bit wide, but for me it's fine, although perhaps visually, the smaller pieces were nicer. Do the same with the other part of the test.
- Preheat the oven to 175 * C and bake until slightly browned, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle the warm dough with powdered sugar, leave to cool and cut into bars. (mine were cut warm and the dough crumbled a little)
- Pleasant !!!!
Serving
This cake is best made the day before. The longer it stands the better, it melts in your mouth.
