Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cake
- In a medium saucepan, melt 80 grams of butter over low heat. Mix in 100 ml of milk, 100 ml of water, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Bring to a gentle boil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 500 grams of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder until evenly blended.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the boiling liquids, stirring continuously until it forms a smooth, thick batter. Allow the dough to cool before adding the eggs.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Divide the dough into two equal portions and spread in a greased baking pan. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and 150 grams of sugar until frothy. Gradually incorporate 50 grams of flour and 100 ml of milk, stirring well.
- Transfer the mixture to a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until it thickens—about 5 minutes while stirring constantly.
- Allow the cream filling to cool. In a separate bowl, whip 100 grams of cream until soft peaks form. Fold the cooled cream mixture into the whipped cream.
- To assemble, spread a layer of cream filling on one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and cover the entire cake with remaining cream.
- Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least two hours, allowing flavors to meld.
- Before serving, dust with icing sugar or garnish with fresh fruit or chocolate shavings.
