1
Into a food processor, place flours, lemon rinds, 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and butter.
-
2
Process until mixture is crumbly.
-
3
Set aside.
-
4
In small bowl, warm milk to about 115F stir in remaining tablespoon of powdered sugar and package of yeast.
-
5
Let sit until bubbly (about 10 minutes).
-
6
Separate 4 eggs - beat yolks and refrigerate whites, to save for filling.
-
7
Add yolks to the yeast mixture.
-
8
In large bowl place flour/butter crumbles and pour eggs/yeast over top.
-
9
Keeping it inside the bowl, mix and knead the dough one handed (use both hands if necessary) until smooth - IMPORTANT: dough will be very gooey and sticky- DO NOT add more flour, just work the bumps out.
-
10
Once dough is smooth - cover bowl tightly with plastic and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
-
11
Now work on your filling:.
-
12
Place walnuts, powdered sugar and cocoa into food processor.
-
13
Chop until walnuts are finally grounded.
-
14
Transfer to a bowl and let sit inside refrigerator until dough is ready.
-
15
When dough is ready: Heavily flour your work surface.
-
16
(I like to spread out a large cheese cloth on my surface and flour it.
-
17
).
-
18
Remove dough from bowl and roll out into a large rectangle.
-
19
Once that is formed, remove egg whites and whip them in a bowl until stiff peaks form.
-
20
Fold in the grounded nut mixture.
-
21
Spread this filling over the dough rectangle and starting at one side, roll it up like a jelly roll.
-
22
(this is when it helps to have the cheese cloth under it.
-
23
).
-
24
Seal the finishing edge with a bit of water.
-
25
Now lift it carefully and place it into a well greased and floured bundt pan.
-
26
(this task can be done alone, but helps if you have someone to help you lift the roll.
-
27
).
-
28
Set pan in a cold oven to continue to rise for 2 1/2 hours or until dough is near the rim of the pan.
-
29
Now bake at 325F for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

If during that time the top begins to get too dark before it's ready, lay a piece of foil over the top.

31
Allow it cool, then turn out carefully.
