Shortcrust cake with custard cream
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. To vary the recipe of this cake, you can add fresh berries or fruits to the cream. This will make its taste more vibrant. It is very important to prepare the cream properly. If it is too thick, the cake layers won't soak it up, and the cake will turn out dry. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
