How to make

Dissolve the yeast with 1 tbsp (15 ml) of warm milk and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Allow the yeast to activate, and then add the remaining ingredients for the dough and mix. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Divide the risen dough into 2 parts. For the filling, heat the milk and sugar to a boil and add the walnuts. Boil for about 1 min with constant stirring.

Then remove it from the heat and add the remaining ingredients. Roll the dough out to about the size of the cake form, smear it with butter and distribute half the filling evenly.

Roll it up into the rest of the rolled out layer, brushed with butter and stuffing. Cover and let it rise again. Put it in a suitable greased form and place it to bake in a preheated 280°F (140 °C) oven. Then increase the oven to 360°F (180 °C) and bake until ready.

Baking takes about 35 minutes. At the very end, sprinkle the baked cake with plenty of powdered sugar and vanilla sugar, premixed together.
