Ingredients: 750 g all-purpose flour; 3 tablespoons honey; 3 eggs; 225 g granulated sugar; 300 g butter or Hera margarine; 3 teaspoons baking soda; 3 tablespoons milk; 280 g chopped nuts; 130 g butter; 130 g honey; 80 g granulated sugar; 750 ml whole milk; 7.5 tablespoons baby semolina; 375 g butter; 240 g granulated sugar; rum to taste; rum for sprinkling the layers

Preparing the dough In a bowl, mix the flour with the sugar and baking soda. Add the eggs, honey and softened butter (or Hera). Dilute the baking soda in the milk, stir into a smooth dough and divide it into three (or two, if you want a taller layer) portions.

Baking the layers Roll out or spread each portion of dough into the shape of a baking sheet (25×35 cm) greased with butter and dusted with flour. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C: three layers for 10–11 minutes each two layers for 15 minutes Let the layers cool.

Preparing the nut mixture In a saucepan, heat the butter, honey and sugar, let it bubble briefly. Stir in the chopped nuts and remove from the heat. Let it cool slightly.

Preparing the cream Bring 500 ml of milk to a boil in a saucepan. Mix the remaining 250 ml with the semolina and, stirring constantly, pour it into the boiling milk. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the semolina thickens. Let the pudding filling cool. Beat the butter with the sugar until frothy and gradually whisk in the cooled semolina; flavor with rum.

Assembling the dessert Place the first layer on a serving tray, optionally lightly sprinkle with rum. Spread part of the cream on it, place the second layer and spread it with the nut mixture. Cover with the third layer and apply the cream again. Spread the top layer with the remaining nut mixture.
