Yields 1 9-inch round cake
3 and 1/2 cups (500 grams) Glicks Flour
2 teaspoons Gefen Dry Yeast
5 and 1/4 ounces (150 grams) softened butter, cut into cubes
1/3 cup (75 grams) sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon Gefen Vanilla Extract
7 ounces (200 grams) 60% dark chocolate (or milk chocolate)
3 and 1/2 ounces (100 grams) butter
1/2 cup (50 grams) Gefen Ground Almonds
1 teaspoon Gefen Ground Cinnamon
1 beaten egg
1/4 cup (50 grams) sugar
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) water
In a mixer bowl with a dough hook, place flour, yeast, butter, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla and salt and knead for 10–12 minutes until it becomes a sticky dough.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and leave to rise overnight in the refrigerator.
Break the chocolate into squares and place in a bowl. Add butter and heat together in the microwave or in a double boiiler until everything is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Add ground almonds and mix well until smooth.
Cool the mixture at room temperature until it reaches a comfortable texture for spreading.
Divide the cold dough into two parts.
On a floured surface, roll each part into a rectangle about 1/2 centimeter (1/4 inch) thick. Spread the filling in a uniform layer.
Cut the dough into long strips five to six centimeters (about two inches) wide (more or less the height of the pan).
Grease a nine-inch round cake pan. Roll one strip around itself to form a rose and place in the middle of the pan. Continue rolling the rest of the strips around the central rose to form a large cinna-roll. Repeat with the rest of the dough and the filling until the cake is ready.
Cover the cake with a damp towel and let rise for about an hour in a warm place until it almost doubles its volume.
Heat oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit).
Brush the cake with a lightly beaten egg.
Bake for 30–40 minutes or until the cake is golden, risen, and set.
In a small pot, place water and sugar and heat until it boils. Cook for two to three minutes and remove from heat.
Brush the cake generously with glaze and serve.
