Critical Success Points

  • Butter the pan very generously to prevent the sponge from sticking.
  • Achieve a well‑aerated batter when mixing butter‑sugar‑eggs.
  • Do not open the oven during the first 15 minutes of baking.
  • Stir the pastry cream constantly to avoid burning.
  • Let the cake cool completely before assembling.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven (180 °C) with kitchen gloves.
  • Boiling milk can cause burns; remove from heat as soon as it boils.
  • Stir the cream constantly to prevent it from sticking and burning.
