Equipment

  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs
  • 100 g. sugar
  • 100 g of honey
  • butter 200g
  • 1 liter of milk
  • 300 g of sugar and the vanilla pod
  • 5 tablespoons are reconstituted in the milk

Instructions
 

  • The egg mixture bowl is transferred to a water bath and stirred continuously for about 10 minutes with a silicone stirrer. In another bowl, add 700 g of flour and 1 ml of bicarbonate, pour the prepared egg mixture, stir until a smooth dough is obtained.
  • Dough is divided into 10 balls, placed in a tray, covered with fresh storage foil and placed in a refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then take one of the balls and roll on a sheet of parchment paper with a round shape and a diameter larger than the shape of a cake.
  • Bake in a 250-degree oven, with a fan, until golden (3-4 minutes). After being removed from the oven, it is cut with a knife using the shape in which the cake will be arranged (26 cm in diameter).
  • It is cut while it is warm, because it then hardens. This is how the other swamps are baked. The cuttings are ground and preserved for decoration.
  • The vanilla pod is removed, the milk dissolved in the milk is poured into a fine juice while stirring continuously. Leave on the heat until it thickens, then transfer to the bowl.
  • Cover with a foil for fresh storage and allow to cool well. 300 g cow’s cream oil (softened to room temperature) is shaken with a blender until it becomes white. Add the cold cream to it, stir until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
  • One of the marshes is placed in a cake shape, smeared with a portion of the cream, a second swamp is placed, it is well coated with fresh milk and then with butter cream.
  • It is good to fork all the swabs and to syrup more with fresh milk because the cake becomes dry. The operation is repeated until all the blades have finished.
  • Part of the cream should remain for the wall painting. Leave the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4-5 hours.
  • It is then removed from the mold and smeared with the cream.
  • Sprinkle with the ground clippings from the marsh. Served with honey.
