Description
You can add 2 tablespoons of brandy to the cream. Decorate the sides with almond flakes. You can draw a spiral pattern on the cake, then use a toothpick to create perpendicular lines to the spiral to achieve a web effect. However, the cake is so delicious even without brandy, almond flakes, and the web design.

Spread the batter onto the parchment and bake 6 layers at 302°F for about 15–20 minutes (UNTIL LIGHT BROWN). REMOVE THE PARCHMENT IMMEDIATELY FROM THE LAYER!!!

For the cream, whisk the yolks with 120 grams of sugar, vanillin, flour (1 tablespoon), and 80 ml of milk.

Boil the remaining milk (200 ml). Gradually add the yolk mixture while stirring constantly. Bring to a boil, continuing to stir. Let it cool. Whip the softened butter. Gradually add the butter to the yolk-milk mixture while stirring. The cream should be fluffy.

Spread cream on all layers.
