📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a food processor, mix together the flour and butter until they resemble breadcrumbs. Add the sugar, egg, water, and vanilla, pulsing a few times until a dough forms.
(2 cups) all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting250 g(4½ oz.) unsalted butter, cold and diced135 g(generous ½ cup) confectioner’s sugar70 gmedium egg1(1 Tbsp.) cocoa powder8 gegg yolk mixed with 1 Tbsp. water1
2
Divide the dough into two equal parts and return one half to the food processor. Add the cocoa powder and cardamom, and mix together briefly. Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and form it into a ball by bringing the dough together with the palm of your hands and fingertips. Flatten it, wrap, and place in the refrigerator.

Use the same method to bring the other half of the dough together, wrap and place in the refrigerator for ⏱️ 10 minutes, or until firm enough to roll while still being flexible.
4
Roll both halves out to a rectangular shape of the same size and thickness, roughly 8 x 10 inches and just under ¼-inch thick. Trim the edges if necessary. You can flour your work surface lightly if it gets too sticky. Brush the vanilla rectangle with some of the egg yolk glaze, then place the cocoa rectangle on top. Roll both layers up together like a huge cigar, then gently press and roll a few times to ensure that both layers are sticking together. Wrap and place in the refrigerator for ⏱️ 1 hour.

Bake for ⏱️ 15 minutes, or until they start to change color slightly around the edges. Allow to cool and enjoy.
