Cake in 15 Minutes! The Famous Cake That Will Drive You Crazy

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pastry Cream

1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg, granulated sugar, vanilla sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and pale.

2. Gradually whisk in the milk until the mixture is lump-free.

3. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard (about 5–7 minutes).

4. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

2. Make the Cake Batter

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and salt until light and frothy.

3. Add the milk and vegetable oil, whisking until combined.

4. Sift flour and baking powder directly into the wet mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined (do not overmix).

5. Fold in the chopped almonds.

3. Assemble the Cake

1. Pour half of the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.

2. Spoon the slightly cooled pastry cream over the batter and spread carefully.

3. Cover with the remaining batter and spread gently to seal.

4. Sprinkle almond flakes evenly on top.

4. Bake and Serve

1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the cake layer comes out clean.

2. Cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes.

3. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Slice and enjoy!
