How to Make Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cake

Ingredients

150 grams (1 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
100 ml (½ cup) water
100 ml (½ cup) milk
80 grams (⅓ cup) butter
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
500 ml (2 cups) milk
150 grams (¾ cup) sugar
100 grams (1 cup) all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
180 grams (¾ cup) butter

Directions

Preparing the Dough: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). In a bowl, mix 150 grams of all-purpose flour, 100 ml of water, 100 ml of milk, 80 grams of butter, 4 eggs, baking powder, and salt. Stir until smooth. Pour the mixture into a greased cake pan, then bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Making the Cream Filling: In another pot, combine 500 ml of milk and 150 grams of sugar. Heat gently while stirring to dissolve the sugar. Once it’s warm, whisk in 100 grams of all-purpose flour and 2 eggs. Cook this mixture on low heat until it thickens, stirring constantly. Remove it from heat and let it cool a bit.
Assembling the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, cut it in half. Spread the cream filling generously over the bottom half of the cake, then place the top half back on. You can top with icing sugar or any garnish of your choice.
