Biscuit cake with custard cream and strawberries

Description

In my opinion, a sponge cake is the best dessert. It can be prepared for a birthday, New Year's, or any other celebration. To make a sponge cake with custard cream, we will need heavy cream (35%), any starch, fine powdered sugar, and a little vanilla sugar. For decoration, I use almond flakes (or chocolate chips will work too). See the detailed recipe below.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Step 1

    First, prepare the sponge cake: beat 4 egg whites into a stiff foam. Beat 4 egg yolks with 4 tablespoons of sugar until pale, then add 2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar and soft butter. Mix well, then add flour, starch, and a couple of spoons of the beaten egg whites to the yolk mixture and stir thoroughly. Combine the egg white and yolk mixtures. To make it easier to remove the cake, place greased parchment paper on the bottom of the pan. Pour the batter into the pan and bake at 180°C (356°F) for 20–25 minutes.

    While the sponge cake is baking, prepare the cream: whisk 2 eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Heat milk, sugar, and vanilla sugar almost to boiling. Remove the milk mixture from heat, carefully pour in the egg-flour mixture, stir, and return to low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until bubbles appear.
