Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
2. In a bowl, combine 150 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Mix well.
3. In another bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 100 ml of water, and 100 ml of milk.
4. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, and stir until smooth.
5. Melt 80 grams of butter and fold it into the batter gently.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool.
7. In a saucepan, heat 500 ml of milk and bring it to a gentle simmer.
8. In a separate bowl, combine 150 grams of sugar, 100 grams of all-purpose flour, and 2 large eggs. Whisk until well combined.
9. Slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from cooking.
10. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat until it thickens, stirring continuously.
11. Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in 180 grams of butter until fully melted. Allow it to cool.
12. Once the cake has completely cooled, slice it in half horizontally.
13. Spread the cream filling generously on the bottom layer of the cake, then place the top layer back on.
14. Dust with icing sugar or add your favorite garnish to make it look extra special.
