Method

  1. 01

    Mix and rest the dough

    Mix the flour with the salt. Add the egg yolks, egg, cold water, and alcohol; work in the softened butter and mix until smooth, without overworking. Shape into a cylinder, cover, and refrigerate for 60 minutes.

  2. 02

    Shape and prick the discs

    Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each one very thin and shape into discs of the same size. Prick the entire surface of each disc with a fork.

  3. 03

    Bake and cool

    Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Bake the discs in batches for 8–10 minutes, until golden. Let them cool completely before assembling the cake.

  4. 04

    Assemble the layers

    Spread a small amount of dulce de leche on the serving plate to secure the base. Alternate the discs with thin layers of dulce de leche, setting one disc aside for the top. Finish with the reserved disc and press gently to level the cake.

  5. 05

    Make the Italian meringue

    Put the sugar and syrup water in a saucepan and heat until the syrup reaches 118 °C. As it approaches that temperature, beat the egg whites until foamy. Pour the hot syrup in a thin stream over the whites while continuing to beat; keep beating until the meringue is firm, glossy, and cooled.

  6. 06

    Top and finish

    Cover the top of the cake with the meringue and shape it with a spoon or spatula.
