Sponge cake with custard cream
Description
I'm sharing with you some useful knowledge on how to make a biscuit cake with custard cream at home. The biscuit batter is very easy to prepare; while the biscuit is baking, you can make the custard cream. The chocolate glaze can vary—some prefer dark chocolate, while others enjoy milk chocolate. I found a compromise and made the glaze using both types of chocolate. Good luck!
