1. Prepare the dough

To start, mix the yeast with the milk.

Then add the flour, salt, sugar, honey, eggs, and the yeast with the milk dissolved previously and start to knead everything together.

Once you have all the ingredients well integrated, take the dough and place it on a table along with some flour to prevent it from sticking.

Next, add the butter, lemon zest, and continue kneading.

Afterwards, let it rest in the fridge for a couple of hours.

2. Prepare the mazapan

Mix the flour, sugar, and egg yolk together. It should have a texture that is neither too hard nor too loose.

Next, take the dough you just made and shape it into a cylinder.

3. Shape the cake

Take the dough, drizzle some olive oil on top to prevent it from sticking, and then shape it into a rectangle.

Next, place the mazapan cylinder on top of the dough and insert the surprises inside (king and bean).

Finally, roll it all up closing it into a circle. (remember to seal the edges well)

4. Ferment and bake the cake

Place the cake on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Then, let the cake rest in a warm and humid place for 2 hours or until it doubles in volume.

Brush the cake with beaten egg yolk.

Preheat the oven to 180 °C.

Bake the cake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.

5. Decorate the cake

Let the cake cool before decorating it.

You can decorate the cake with dried fruit, sugar, chocolate, etc.

Tips

Make sure the oven is well heated before baking the cake.
