Typically baked in a special round form that bakes a rim for easier filling, but any round 11 inch form will do. Fill baked bottom with 3/8 inch (1 cm) pastry cream or thick vanilla pudding and top with fresh fruit like strawberries. Keep strawberries from toppling off the cake by pouring a little strawberry flavored prepared jello over strawberries. When set cut cake into 12 wedges. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream on the side. Ingredients:
6 tablespoons butter, softened (6 tbs) |
6 tablespoons sugar (75 grams) |
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar (sub with 1 t vanilla extract plus 1 tbs sugar) |
2 eggs |
1 cup flour, plus |
3 tablespoons flour (150 grams) |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 pinch salt |
3 -4 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Grease pan. Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
2. Cream butter, sugar and vanilla sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beat until light in color.
3. Mix flour, salt and baking powder. Add half of flour, beat until just blended. Add 3 tbs milk, just blend. Add rest of flour, just blend.
4. Batter should drop slowly from a spoon, forming long tips. If too firm add another tbs milk.
5. Spread batter evenly in pan.
6. Bake in lower third of oven 18-22 minutes until golden yellow. Let cool in form for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
