Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a round cake tin.

- Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

- Gradually pour the hot milk over the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and cook over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 180 grams of butter until melted.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing it in half horizontally. Spread the cream filling between the layers and on top of the cake.
- Dust with icing sugar or your favorite garnish.
