- 1 packet baking powder
- a pinch of salt

Ingredients needed for the filling:

- 1 package (200 g) butter, at room temperature
- 100 ml liquid cream
- 100 g powdered sugar with vanilla flavor
- 1 layer of dough (from those prepared earlier) crumbled by hand
- 150 g marshmallows, cut into cubes
- ½ jar of rose hip jam (about 200 g)
- 2 vials of rum essence
- 2 tablespoons cocoa

Ingredients needed for the glaze:

- 150 g dark chocolate
- 50 ml liquid cream
- sugar candies (for decoration)
- marshmallows (for decoration)

Step by Step: Preparing the Cake

1. Preparing the Dough for Layers:
In a large plastic bowl, add the butter at room temperature, yogurt, salt, baking powder, sugar, and egg yolks. Use a spatula or a mixer on low speed to combine the ingredients until you achieve a homogeneous mixture.
Then, gradually add the flour, mixing until the dough becomes smooth and easy to shape. It should be a richer dough, but not sticky. Wrap it in cling film and refrigerate for an hour.

2. Preheating the Oven:
While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 175°C. This step is essential for achieving perfectly baked and golden layers.

3. Rolling Out the Layers:
After the dough has chilled, divide it into 3 equal parts. On a well-floured work surface, roll out each part of the dough into a thin layer. Use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness.

4. Baking the Layers:
Transfer each layer onto the back of a greased baking tray. Using a fork, poke the layers in several places to prevent puffing during baking. Bake each layer for 8-10 minutes or until golden. Allow them to cool completely.

5. Preparing the Filling:
In a large bowl, manually crumble one of the baked layers until it becomes crumbs. Add the cut marshmallows, rose hip jam, rum essence, cocoa, melted butter, liquid cream, and powdered sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are integrated and the filling becomes creamy.

6. Assembling the Cake:
Take the first baked layer and spread the filling evenly over it, leveling it with a spatula. Then, cover with the second layer of dough.

7. Preparing the Glaze:
Melt the dark chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, gradually adding the liquid cream while continuously stirring to achieve a smooth and glossy glaze.

8. Finalizing the Cake:
Pour the chocolate glaze over the last layer, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Decorate with pieces of marshmallows and colorful sugar candies for a festive appearance.

9. Cooling and Serving:
Allow the cake to cool at room temperature, then place it in a cool spot for a night. This step helps to firm up the texture and intensify the flavors. Slice the cake and serve it with a cup of tea or coffee.

Practical Tips:

- Choosing the Flour: Use good quality flour for flakier layers. If you want a healthier option, you can replace part of the flour with whole wheat flour.
- The Butter: Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easier incorporation into the dough.
- Marshmallows: If you can't find marshmallows, you can use meringues or even chocolate instead.
- Storing: The cake keeps well in the fridge in an airtight container, and the flavors become even more intense after a few days.

Nutritional Benefits:
This cake provides a source of carbohydrates from the flour and sugar, while the marshmallows add extra sweetness. The butter and liquid cream contribute fats, so it’s best to enjoy this delicacy in moderation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Can I use other types of jam? Yes, you can substitute the rose hip jam with your favorite jam, such as raspberry or peach.

2. How can I make the cake less sweet? You can reduce the amount of sugar in the filling or use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for the glaze.

3. Can the cake be frozen? Yes, you can freeze the cake, but it’s recommended to slice it and wrap it well in cling film to prevent ice crystals from forming.

4. What drinks pair well with the cake? This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of black coffee, a fragrant tea, or even a sweet wine, depending on your preferences.

In conclusion, the crumbled layer cake with marshmallows is not only a delicious dessert but also a delightful cooking experience. Follow these simple steps and enjoy a result that will impress everyone. Enjoy your meal!
