Total time: 200 min
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients: 30 g warm milk; 10 g baker's yeast; 250 g flour; 30 g sugar; 3 g baking powder; 2 eggs (approximately 100 g); 1 tsp orange blossom water; 125 g butter; 250 ml milk; 3 egg yolks; 60 g sugar; 25 g cornstarch; 1 tbsp vanilla extract; 20 g butter; 180 g whipping cream; 2 g gelatin leaves (soaked in water); 80 g water; 40 g sugar; 2 tbsp orange blossom water

Directions

1. Step

In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baker's yeast, warm milk, baking powder, eggs, and orange blossom water until well combined. Knead in the butter (125 g) until fully incorporated and smooth. Cover the dough and refrigerate briefly to firm it up. Take the chilled dough and spread it evenly in a greased 20 cm round baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

2. Step

In a saucepan, combine the milk, egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and butter. Whisk well over medium heat until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard. Add the whipping cream and continue to mix until incorporated. Stir in the soaked gelatin leaves and mix until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.

3. Step

In a small saucepan, mix the water, sugar, and orange blossom water. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, creating a light syrup. Once the cake has cooled, pour the syrup evenly over the cake base. Spread the prepared cream filling over the cake, smoothing it out evenly. Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 2 hours to set.
