Vanilla Custard Cream Cake A soft, lemon-scented cake swirled with rich custard cream (cream patisserie). Light, fluffy, and finished with a dusting of powdered sugar—this classic French bake is perfect for any occasion. Ingredients Custard Cream - 2 large egg yolks - ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar - 3 tbsp (25 g) all-purpose flour - 1 cup (235 ml) warm milk - ½ tsp vanilla extract For the Cake Batter - 4 large eggs - 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar - ½ cup (115g) butter, melted - ½ cup (115g) milk - 2 ¼ cups (300g) all-purpose flour - Pinch of salt - 2 tsp (8g) baking powder - Powdered sugar, for dusting Method Make the Custard Cream 1. Heat the milk in a saucepan until hot, but not boiling. 2. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, and flour until pale and smooth. 3. Slowly add the vanilla and warm milk, a little at a time, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. 4. Place over medium heat and stir continuously until the cream thickens and begins to bubble gently. Reduce heat and cook for 1–2 more minutes until smooth and glossy. 5. Transfer to a glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressed against the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and let cool completely. Make the Cake 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a mini cheesecake pan or a jumbo muffin pan. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and airy. Slowly add the butter and milk, whisking continuously. 3. Stir in the lemon zest, then sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. 4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Drop spoonfuls of cooled custard cream evenly across the surface. 5. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 6. Allow to cool, remove from the pan, and dust generously with powdered sugar before serving. #food #foodie #foodporn #instafood #yummy #dinner #foodphotography #foodstagram #foodgasm #delicious #homemade #cooking #foodpics #eating #happy #happiness #love #chef #foodlover #foodblogger #eat #tasty #foodies #healthyeating #cleaneating #nutrition #wellness #fitfood #healthyrecipes #plantbased #yummy #foodstagram #cake #cakes #cakesoftiktok #stonefruit #fruit #plantbased #instafood #Foodie #food #baking #bakingwithlove❤️ #foodphotography #bakingfromscratch #foodporn #dinner #foodgasm #delicious #homemade - @cozycookingchris
