Greta Garbo: Hollywood Glam in One Bite

Do you want to experience the life of Greta Garbo with only one bite of cake? If so, you are in the right place.

You’re probably wondering why I chose Garbo as an analogy to the delicious taste of this cake. Simple answer to a simple question, Greta Garbo is the name of the cake. As fragile and tasty as these cake bites look, they are promised to give you the same sensational feeling that the Hollywood actress had when she was named one of the first legendary women in the history of cinematography.

What are you waiting for then? Scroll down for the recipe, get your glamour on, and relive the Hollywood starlet’s life through a tea party.

Dough Ingredients:

3 ¾  cups (400 gr) flour

2/3 cup (150 gr) butter

3 tbs sugar

2 tbs sour cream

2 eggs

2 ⅛ tbs yeast

1 tsp baking soda

Glaze Ingredients:

1 ¼ cup (200gr) chocolate

4 tbs butter

Filling Ingredients:

1 cup (250gr) ground walnuts

1 cup (200g) sugar

1 ½ cup jam (400gr) of your choice

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients for the dough together until you get a homogeneous mixture. You may use your hand for this as it might be challenging to use a normal mixer. Set aside and let the dough rise for about 2 hours.
• After 2 hours, split the dough in 3.
• Mix the sugar and the walnuts together. Set aside.
• Roll out the first out of the 3 parts into a rectangular thin sheet. Spread the jam on top and sprinkle a layer of the ground walnuts and sugar.
• Roll out the second part of the dough and lay it on top of the layer of ground walnuts. Top it off the same way as described in the second step.
• After rolling the third sheet, you will poke the entire surface with a fork, without layering anything on top afterwards. The reason for this is that if you don’t poke small holes in it, the dough will rise more than needed when it’s baking.
• Put the cake into the oven and bake at 356 ℉ (180 ℃) for about 30 minutes. Let it cool.
• For the glaze, you should melt the chocolate and butter together. Pour it on top of the cooled cake.
• Let the glaze harden and you’re ready to go!

ENJOY!
