    3- Assemble the cake

    • Spread the frangipane in the center, leaving a 2 cm border. Insert the bean into the frangipane.
    • Spread the pear slices on the frangipane
    • Sprinkle with grated chocolate or chips.
    • Cover with the second circle of dough and seal the edges by pressing them lightly. Press the edges with a fork.
    • Draw patterns on the top with the tip of a knife without piercing the dough, make a chimney (small hole) in the center of the dough so that the steam escapes and brush with egg yolk mixed with a teaspoon of milk for a nice browning.
