Method

  1. 01

    Make and rest the dough

    Mix the flour with the salt. In another bowl, combine the egg yolks, egg, cold water, and alcohol; add them to the flour. Add the softened butter and combine until the dough is smooth. Wrap it and let it rest, ideally for 12 hours.

  2. 02

    Divide and roll out the disks

    Heat the oven to 180 °C. Divide the dough into 9 equal portions and roll each one out very thinly. Prick each disk several times with a fork.

  3. 03

    Bake the pastry layers

    Bake the disks in batches in the oven preheated to 180 °C, for 8 to 10 minutes per disk. Transfer them to a rack and let them cool before assembling the cake.

  4. 04

    Assemble the layers

    Spread a small amount of dulce de leche on the serving plate to hold the cake in place. Layer the 9 disks with thin layers of dulce de leche, making 7 to 8 filling layers; finish with a pastry disk and press gently to level.

  5. 05

    Make the syrup

    Put the sugar and water for the syrup in a saucepan and heat until the syrup reaches 121 °C.

  6. 06

    Whip the Italian meringue

    Beat the egg whites until they form peaks. When the syrup reaches 121 °C, pour it in a thin stream over the whites while beating. Continue beating until the meringue is firm and glossy.

  7. 07

    Top the cake

    Spread the Italian meringue over the top of the cake and shape peaks with a spoon.
