Ingredients
Scale
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 ml water
- 100 ml milk
- 80 grams butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 500 ml milk
- 150 grams sugar
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 180 grams butter
- Icing sugar or your favorite garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter: In a saucepan, melt 80 grams of butter over medium heat. Add 100 ml each of milk and water, along with ½ teaspoon of salt. Stir until fully combined and smooth.
- Whisk the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 150 grams of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder until well combined.
- Combine and cook: Once the liquid mixture boils, reduce heat and gradually add the dry mixture. Stir continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the dough pulls away from the pan and forms a smooth ball.
- Cool and add eggs: Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and allow it to cool slightly. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
- Preheat and bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 25cm round baking pan with parchment paper. Divide the dough into two equal portions, spread one in the pan, and bake for 20 minutes. Repeat with the second portion.
- Beat the cream mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 150 grams of sugar until pale and frothy. Gradually add 100 grams of flour and then 500 ml of milk, whisking to achieve a smooth batter.
- Cook the cream: Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once it thickens and boils, cook for three more minutes. Remove from heat and cover with plastic wrap to cool.
- Fluff the filling: Beat 180 grams of butter until light and fluffy. Gradually mix in the cooled cream mixture until well blended.
- Layer the cake: Place one baked dough layer in a clean baking pan. Spread half of the cream filling over it, add the second layer, and top with the remaining cream.
- Chill the cake: Refrigerate the cake for at least two hours. This time helps the cream to set and flavors meld beautifully.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, dust the top with icing sugar or your choice of garnish. Slice, serve, and enjoy every melt-in-your-mouth moment!
