Grandpa's Moustaches

No, You didn't read it wrong. And yes, you are on a right page! The name of this dessert is little strange, but the dessert is fantastic: it looks great and tastes fantastic :)

Don't worry, it's not some witch potion where you need to cut off your grandpa's mustaches. The cake is named like this, because when you slice up the cake, you get pieces that looks like mustaches :)

Dough:

350 gr (1 ½ c) flour
150 g (10T) butter
7 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon sugar
4 egg yolks
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sour cream

Pour the flour and baking powder out onto a flat work surface and shape it into a well. Pour the milk, sour cream, egg yolks, margarine or butter, sugar and a pinch of salt into the center of the well and work into a ball of dough. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a square block. You will get 2 blocks out of this recipe.

Filling:

4 egg whites
200 g (3/4 c) ground walnuts
2 pack of vanilla sugar
1 - 2 tablespoons cocoa
150 gr (1/2 c) sugar

With electric mixer beat egg whites, add sugar and vanilla sugar and continue mixing until egg whites are firm enough and all sugar is dissolved. Then add ground walnuts and cocoa, and carefully mix it with spoon.

Now you will need:
Some jam
Some ground walnuts for sprinkling
Some cocoa and a little bit of cinnamon


Spread jam over the roll out dough. Sprinkle ground walnuts, cocoa and cinnamon over the jam spread,

and now roll the dough on both side (left and right) equally, so that you leave a little empty space in a middle.

Put the dough into a pan. Fill the empty space with filling and put it in a preheated oven.

Bake until lightly golden. Take out of the oven.  

(Dana’s Notes: There were no baking temperatures or times for this recipe. I would recommend baking them at 350 degrees F. For the time, “bake until lighty golden”…I would bake for 25-30 minutes, but keep checking it until it looks done. (I got these temps. and times from a basic nut roll recipe, so use this as a guide. I would check on this every 10 minutes.)

Plus:
50 g (2oz.) milk chocolate
A little icing sugar

When the cake cools, sprinkle sides with icing sugar (white whiskers) and in the middle spread the melted milk chocolate.
