Ingredients

Servings: 2
  • 150 ml Milk
  • 60 g Butter
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 250 g Flour
  • 5 Eggs (Gr. M)
  • 10 sheets Gelatine
  • 800 g Whipped cream
  • 1 Organic Lemon
  • 100 g Sugar
  • Two pck. Vanilla sugar
  • 300 g cherry jam
  • 1 TEASPOON Icing sugar
  • 2 Cherries
  • baking paper

Directions

  1. 1

    For the dough, boil milk, 150 ml water, butter and 1 pinch of salt in a pot. Add flour at once and stir with a wooden spoon (with hole) until a white layer forms on the bottom of the pot and the dough separates from the bottom of the pot as a lump. Pour the dough into a bowl, immediately add 1 egg. Leave to cool for about 10 minutes. Then stir in 4 eggs individually.

  2. 2

    Draw 4 rectangles (each approx. 10 x 18 cm) on two sheets of baking paper with enough space between each, so that they fit on a baking tray (approx. 35 x 40 cm). Pour the dough into a piping bag with a large perforated spout, spray in loose serpentines into the marking and spread. Bake one after the other in a preheated oven (electric oven: 200 °C/circulating air: 180 °C/gas: see manufacturer) for approx. 20 minutes. Let them cool down.

  3. 3

    For the lemon cream, soak the gelatine in cold water. Whip the cream in portions until stiff. Heat the lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar and vanilla sugar in a saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Squeeze the gelatine and dissolve in the syrup. Leave to cool. First stir 6 tablespoons of cream into the gelatine, then stir everything into the remaining cream. Chill until it begins to gel.

  4. 4

    Spread 2 cake bases with jam first, then with cream to a height of about 1 cm. Carefully layer 3 more cakes and the remaining cream on each cake layer, finishing with one cake base. Chill for about 1 hour. Decorate with icing sugar and 1 cherry each. Cut the cake with an electric knife.
