Delightful Moroccan-Style Cake Recipe

In a large mixing bowl, combine the icy margarine with the all-purpose flour. Use your hands to work them together until they resemble coarse crumbs.

Next, add in the milk, sour cream, eggs, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms. Divide the dough into 12 portions and wrap each in plastic. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or even overnight if you prefer.

When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit). Take one portion of the dough from the fridge at a time.

Roll it out on parchment paper into a 25 cm (10 inches) round. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown. Note that you can use the trimmings to create crumbs for decoration later.

In a saucepan, mix the condensed milk, cornstarch, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency.

Remove from heat and cover the cream to let it cool down completely. In a separate bowl, whip the butter until it is light and fluffy, then gradually add the cooled custard while continuing to beat.

Finally, fold in the ground walnuts until evenly incorporated.

Once the cakes are baked and cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the walnut custard cream over the top. Repeat this process with the remaining layers.

For decorations, melt the white chocolate and add the sunflower oil to thin it out. Drizzle this mixture over the top of the cake and smooth it out. You can also use dark chocolate to create a web design for a beautiful finish.

Allow the cake to sit overnight for the flavors to meld beautifully. This cake pairs wonderfully with tea and is perfect for special occasions.

Enjoy sharing this delightful treat with friends and family!
