Step 1

Beat the eggs with sugar (2 cups), add the butter (200 g), baking soda activated with vinegar, and flour (4–5 cups). Place the mixture over a water bath, stirring until the batter thickens and changes color to light brown.

Step 3

While the cake layers are cooling, prepare the cream. Mix the granulated sugar (100 g) with the flour (100 g), add the milk (1 L), and place it over low heat until it thickens. Once the cream has cooled, add the whipped cream and beat until combined. Spread the resulting cream over the cake layers.
