Heat, lubricate and flour the spit with starch. Brush a thin layer of dough evenly onto the spit and bake until golden. Repeat this process: bake different layers of the Cocoa and Champagne Baumkuchen. After cooling glaze with dark chocolate Callebaut 60-40-38, milk chocolate Callebaut 823 or white chocolate Callebaut W2. Marble technique: Glaze with milk chocolate. Pour over dark chocolate stripes until the milk chocolate has hardened. By turning the stick, both sorts of chocolate will run together to create a marble-like effect. |
