Preparation procedure

  • Dough preparation: Preheat the oven to 175 °C and line a 20 × 30 cm baking tray with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix the sifted flour, baking soda, cocoa, sugar and a pinch of salt. Add the softened butter and milk. Work into a smooth dough, then divide it into 5 equal parts.
  • Baking the sheets: Roll each piece of dough on a floured surface into a thin sheet (about 3 mm). Bake the sheets in the preheated oven for 12–14 minutes. Let them cool completely.
  • Preparing the cream: In a smaller bowl, mix the flour, starch, sugar, vanilla sugar, egg yolk and a little cold milk. Bring the remaining milk to a boil and then pour the mixture into it. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  • Finishing the cream: Beat the butter with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the cooled pudding and rum essence. Divide the cream into four portions.
  • Assembling the pastry: Spread one portion of the cream on the first sheet of dough, cover with another sheet and repeat until all layers are used. Leave the top sheet without cream.
  • Pressing and resting: Lightly weigh the pastry down, for example with a second baking sheet, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours.
  • Serving: Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and cut into slices.
