They ask me to bake this cake three times a week! In this text, I will share with you the recipe and secrets of this tastiest cake.
Ingredients:
For the cream:
- 2 eggs
- 150g of sugar (3/4 cup or 5.29 oz)
- 70g of cornstarch (4 tablespoons or 2.47 oz)
- 500ml of milk (2 + 1/3 cups or 17 oz)
- 160g of butter at room temperature (8 tablespoons or 5.64 oz)
For the dough:
- 100ml of water (3.38 oz)
- 100ml of milk (3.38 oz)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 80g of butter (4 tablespoons or 2.82 oz)
- 120g of flour (1 cup or 4.23 oz)
- 3-4 eggs
- Sliced almonds
- Powdered sugar
Instructions:
- In a saucepan, mix the eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it becomes a cream. Cover with plastic wrap and let cool completely.
- In another saucepan, mix the water, milk, salt, sugar, and butter. Heat until the butter dissolves. Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Let the dough cool for about 3 minutes.
- Beat the eggs into the dough, adding them gradually, stirring until the dough hangs on a spoon. Place the dough in a piping bag, and first make a circle, then make another circle on top to make it easy to cut when ready.
- Brush with the remaining egg and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes at 180°C (356°F). Let it cool slightly.
- In a container, beat the butter until foamy and gradually add the cream we made at room temperature. Fill the cake with the cream and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Decorate with powdered sugar before serving.
Tip: If there is leftover dough, make mini circles and fill them; they are delicious!
