  • 100 ml (½ cup) milk
  • 80 grams (⅓ cup) butter
  • 4 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

  5. For the creamy filling, heat milk and sugar in a saucepan until dissolved. Mix flour with eggs until smooth; gradually add to warm milk while stirring continuously until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.
  6. Once cooled, slice the cake horizontally into two layers; spread half of the creamy filling between layers and top with remaining filling.
