👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the dough:
Mix flour, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl. Add the cold butter and rub with your fingers or a pastry cutter until crumbly. Add the egg and vanilla, knead briefly until smooth. Divide into two portions — one slightly larger. - Make the cream filling:
In a saucepan, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy.
Let cool, then fold in whipped cream gently. - Assemble the cake:
Roll out the larger dough portion and place it into a greased springform pan, covering the bottom and sides.
Pour in the cream filling.
Roll out the smaller dough portion and place it on top, or crumble it over for a rustic look.
- Bake:
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes, until golden on top. - Finish:
Cool completely, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
🍽️ Tips
Chill before serving for a firmer texture.
You can add lemon zest to the cream for a fresh note.
Best enjoyed with a glass of milk or coffee.
