  • 1 oz grated chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2 level tablespoons cake or biscuit crumbs

  • Glace icing, plain or lemon

    • How To Cook:
    1. Rub the yeast into the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the butter, sugar and egg yolk beaten together with enough milk to give pliable dough.

    2. Beat well. Put to rise in a warm place in a covered plastic container, plastic bag or covered bowl for 15-20 minutes.

    3. Meanwhile knead the 5 oz. butter with the 1 oz. flour till pliable. Knead dough on a floured board, roll out to an oblong, place tablet of butter in the center and fold as for flaky pastry.

    4. Roll and fold four times as for flaky pastry. If dough gets sticky put to rest in a cool place for 20 minutes between rolls.

    5. Meanwhile, mix together the ground almonds, raisins, chocolate, biscuit crumbs, caster sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll yeast pastry out to an oblong about 21 inches long.

    6. Brush with melted butter, cover with filling, sprinkle with rum and roll up as for a Swiss roll. Twist into a circle to fit in a greased 7-8 inch cake tin.

    7. Make sure ends are firmly joined. Make a few slashes along the top. Cover with a cloth and put to prove for about 20 minutes.

    8. Bake at 425°F, for about 45 minutes or until well risen, golden-brown and just firm to the touch.

    9. Turn out carefully. While still hot, top with glace icing. Serve fresh.
