Dissolve 2 tablespoons of dry yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in warm milk and let it ferment for 5-7 minutes until foamy.

In a mixing bowl, combine the dissolved yeast, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt, and the remaining sugar.

Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and mix well until the sugar dissolves.

Incorporate 113 grams of margarine or butter at room temperature into the mixture.

Add 5 egg yolks and mix thoroughly.

Gradually add 4.5 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing until well combined.

Knead the dough for 15-20 minutes until smooth, adding more milk if the dough feels too hard.

Let the dough rest in a greased bowl until it doubles in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Divide the dough in half and shape it into the desired form for the tortas.

Brush the top with egg wash for a golden color.

Prepare the sweet paste for decoration and place it on top of the shaped dough.

Decorate with sesame seeds and any additional designs as desired.
