Hi everyone! Today I would like to share with all of you my Danube cake, a classic eat-and-share cake that can be sweet or savory.
This is my sweet version that I filled with Nutella and marshmallows , but you can choose your own filling following your own taste.
Ingredients
- 530 g of flour
- 40 g of butter
- 1 egg
- 7 g of yeast
- 100 g of sugar
- the zest of 1 lemon
- 100 g of milk
- marshmallows
- Nutella
- Icing sugar for decorating
- 1 egg for brushing the cake before baking
Procedures
To start with, just put all the dried ingredients in a bowl: flour, sugar, lemon zest, and yeast. Then mix it all together.
Then add the egg, warm milk, and butter, and mix all the ingredients together.
Work the dough for about 10 minutes, adding some flour if the mix is too sticky.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 4 hours, until doubles on size.
Now split the dough in balls, each of them weighting 40g, and start filling them with marshmallows or Nutella.
This is how I prepare the baking tray, alternating between balls of each kind.
I brush all the cake with one beaten egg, and leave it rest again for an additional hour.
This time the yeast will work again and will seal every gap of the cake.
Bake it for 35 to 45 min at 180 degrees, checking the cake during the baking period without opening the oven door.
Ciao… Enjoy it!!!
