Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup heavy cream
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
- Gradually sift in the flour and gently fold to combine, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.
- Pour the batter into a prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake cools, prepare the filling by dissolving gelatin in warm milk and allowing it to cool slightly.
- Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold in the gelatin mix and vanilla extract.
- Once the cake has cooled, slice it horizontally into two layers.
- Spread the creamy filling evenly between the layers and on top, allowing it to set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
