The Steps of Magic
Now that you have everything ready, we can start creating this delicious magical cake. Follow these steps and you will be on the right track:
- Preparation of the dough
In a bowl, break 5 eggs and add a pinch of salt.
Gradually add 130 g of sugar, mixing until the mixture becomes frothy.
Continue mixing while slowly pouring in 170 g of flour.
Add 50ml of milk and mix until smooth.
Line the 32×37 cm baking tray with baking paper.
Pour the mixture into the pan and level it evenly.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes, until the dough is golden. Once cooked, let it cool completely. - Preparation of the Custard
In a saucepan, combine 2 eggs, 50g sugar and 25g cornstarch.
Gradually add 250 ml of milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens.
Cover the custard with transparent film to avoid the formation of a skin and let it cool completely. - Preparation of Raspberry Jam
In a saucepan, combine 500g raspberries, 90g sugar and 30g cornstarch.
Add 50ml of water and bring the mixture to the boil, stirring constantly.
Cook for about 5 minutes until the jam thickens.
Cover the jam with cling film and let it cool. - Assembly of the cake
Once the dough, custard and jam are completely cooled, cut the dough into 5 strips about 6cm wide.
Start assembling the cake by alternating layers of dough, custard and raspberry jam.
