Description

This oriental nut pull-apart cake is an absolute highlight on every coffee table! I especially like to bake it at Christmas time, but of course it tastes good all year round. The combination of a loose yeast dough and an aromatic nut filling with honey is simply irresistible. The preparation is a bit more complex, but the result is worth it. The different nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios give the cake a great texture and a unique taste. A touch of honey rounds everything off perfectly. Try it, you will be thrilled!

Chop nuts

Thermomix® Setting

5 sec/Speed 5

Add 100 g slivered almonds, 100 g hazelnuts and 50 g pistachios to the mixing bowl and chop for 5 sec/speed 5. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the nut mixture.

Prepare nut mixture

Put the remaining nut mixture, 50 g honey and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a bowl and mix.

Roll out and top the dough

Briefly knead the dough again and roll it out into a square (approx. 50 cm) on a floured work surface. Spread with 80 g butter. Cut into 6 strips (approx. 8 cm each) with a rolling knife. Spread the nut mixture on top. Cut each dough strip crosswise into 5 pieces (approx. 8 x 10 cm).

Shape cake

Place a greased loaf pan (approx. 30 cm long) upright. Fold the pieces of dough together, stretch them a little in length and width and layer them one after the other in the mold so that the openings alternately face forward and backward. If the mold is not completely full at the end, tilt the mold and distribute the pieces of dough so that it is filled. Cover and let rise again for approx. 15 minutes.

Prepare streusel

Put 50 g flour, 35 g sugar, 35 g butter and 2 tablespoons of nut mixture into the mixing bowl and process into streusel for 20 sec/speed 4.

Distribute streusel and bake

Spread the streusel on the dough. Bake the cake in a preheated oven (electric oven: 180 °C/fan oven: 160 °C) for approx. 30 minutes. Remove, let rest for approx. 20 minutes. Turn out of the mold and let cool. Drizzle with approx. 2 tablespoons of honey before serving.
