Cooking method

Cooking time: 4 h 30 min

1. Since the cakes in this recipe are used ready-made, then we begin cooking the cake with meringue. To do this, put the egg whites in a deep bowl, pour sugar here. Beat the proteins to stable peaks using an electric mixer.

2. Place the cakes on a baking sheet, each generously smeared with currant jam. Spread the prepared meringue on top of the jam, sprinkle with almond petals. We send the baking sheet to the oven preheated to 180 degrees for half an hour.

3. Put the egg yolks in a saucepan, pour sugar here, rub the ingredients until smooth with a hand whisk. Then pour milk and vanilla extract into the yolk mass, mix with the same whisk. Pour flour into the resulting mass, mix. The cream should be homogeneous, without lumps. We send the saucepan to the stove, cook the cream until it thickens. At the same time, stir continuously.

If the custard mass still went in lumps, no need to get upset. This can be corrected by rubbing the cream through a sieve. Then it will have a 100% smooth and uniform consistency. But since the mass is hot, you need to act carefully so as not to get burned.

4. Spread the softened butter in a large deep bowl, beat with a mixer until fluffy. Then we introduce the custard into the butter in parts, whipping it up to splendor each time.

5. Well, it's time to collect the cake. Spread the cream on one of the cakes, cover with a second cake. We send the cake to the refrigerator for three hours.

After the specified time, you can take a sample.

Have a pleasant tasting!
