    For the vanilla cream, cut the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp. Stir 100 ml milk with starch until smooth. Boil up 900 ml milk, 100 g sugar, vanilla pod and pulp. Stir in the mixed starch. Simmer for about 1 minute while stirring. Set aside and let cool. Remove vanilla pod. Stir the vanilla cream until smooth and spread on the cake base. Chill for about 3 hours

    In the meantime, wash the strawberries, clean them if necessary and cut them into halves or quarters depending on size. Cut the cake into about 20 pieces and sprinkle with brown sugar. Caramelise the sugar immediately and let it set. Arrange cake with strawberry salad on plates. Spread crumbles over them. Whipped cream tastes good with it
