Preparing the Dough
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 150 grams of flour, 100 ml of water, 100 ml of milk, 80 grams of melted butter, 4 eggs, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and tap on the counter to remove air bubbles.
  4. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Making the Cream Filling
  1. In a saucepan, combine 500 ml of milk and 150 grams of sugar. Heat over medium, stirring until dissolved.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 100 grams of flour, 2 eggs, and a touch of the warm milk mixture.
  3. Gradually add the flour mixture back to the warm milk, stirring continuously until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
Assembling the Cake
  1. Once cooled, slice the cake horizontally to create two layers.
  2. Spread cream filling generously between layers.
  3. Place the second layer on top and dust with icing sugar.

Notes

Let the cake cool completely for beautifully clean slices. Sift flour for a lighter cake texture.
