Method

Cool in the tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.

Trim the base, slice horizontally, rotate the layers, and dust heavily with icing sugar before serving.

Combine flour, salt, sugar, yeast, zests, butter, eggs, yolks, vanilla, and milk in a mixer bowl.

Mix at a slow speed then increase to high for 10 minutes until the dough adheres to the hook.

Knead the dough into a ball on a floured surface and prove in a greased bowl until doubled.

Punch down the dough, shape into a ball, and place in a greased 500g mould to rise.

Bake at 190°C for 35 to 40 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
