Slovakian Cake

Perhaps the strangest recipe to date, this cake was suggested by Eva, a document controller for Sir Robert McAlpine. The cake is a very traditional recipe from one town in Slovakia and is cooked in an open wood oven. To cook it I had the help of two wonderful French Pastry Chefs, Arnoud [2 star Michelin chef] and Richard [3 star Michelin chef] who with trial an error devised a system of cooking the cake over a home-made fire in their back garden. The pastry is wrapped around a long wooden poll, then rotated over the open fire to cook. It tasted fantastic!
