Temperature

175 °C

Mix flour with dried yeast, sugar, salt and crumbled margarine.
Add the egg and warm milk, blend the mixture and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
Work the dough on a floured surface, then divide it into three parts. Roll these out into three thin sheets (each about 20x25 cm).
Put the first sheet of pastry on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper, spread it with half of the peach jam and sprinkle on half of the mixture of chopped nuts and sugar.
Cover with the second sheet, then sprinkle this sheet with the remaining ingredients.
Cover with the last sheet of pastry and leave to rise for 50 minutes.
Pierce the top of the cake with a fork and bake for about 40 minutes at 175°C. When the cake is lukewarm, turn it upside down on a tray.
Allow the cake to cool; dissolve the chocolate with a little butter, then spread it on the cake.
Put the cake in the fridge for one night and serve it the next day.
