A brief history
Cream cakes have been cherished throughout history, often associated with celebrations and festive moments. This recipe blends tradition with innovation, highlighting the delicious combination of vanilla and cappuccino, which offers a refined taste and a velvety texture.

Ingredients
For the layers:
- 3 large eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 200 ml yogurt (opt for a creamy one for a richer taste)
- 200 g butter (melted)
- 650 g flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder

For the cream:
- 1 l milk
- 200 g sugar
- ½ packet of vanilla pudding
- 5 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons of cappuccino (or more, to taste)

For decoration:
- Nuts (optional, but recommended for added crunch)
- Grated chocolate (for garnish)

Step by step

1. Preparing the layers
Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. It is important that the sugar is completely dissolved to achieve a smooth texture.

2. Adding wet ingredients
Incorporate the yogurt and melted butter, mixing gently. Make sure the butter is not hot to avoid scrambling the eggs. Mix until everything is homogeneous.

3. Incorporating flour
In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, then gradually add it to the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the incorporated air. Once the dough is homogeneous, cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

4. Baking the layers
Roll out the dough into four equal parts on the back of a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake each layer for 10-12 minutes, or until they turn lightly golden. Let them cool completely.

5. Preparing the cream
In a saucepan, bring 800 ml of milk to a boil. In a separate bowl, dissolve the vanilla pudding in the remaining milk (200 ml). When the milk in the saucepan starts to boil, add the pudding mixture and stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

6. Creating a fluffy cream
In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar, then add to the pudding mixture. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth. Keep on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes a fluffy cream. Divide the cream into two equal parts, and in one of them, add the 2 tablespoons of cappuccino.

7. Assembling the cake
Place the first layer of dough on a platter. Lightly soak with apricot syrup (if unavailable, you can use sugar syrup or water with sugar). Add a layer of vanilla cream, followed by another layer. Continue alternating layers: layer, cappuccino cream, layer, vanilla cream, layer. Finally, cover everything with cappuccino cream.

8. Decoration and cooling
For an attractive look, grate some chocolate over the entire surface of the cake, and sprinkle with nuts on top. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Serving and variations
This cake is perfect to enjoy alongside a cup of tea or aromatic coffee. If you want to add more flavor, you can include a splash of rum or almond extract in the cappuccino cream. Alternatively, you can experiment with flavors by adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the pudding mixture.

Nutritional benefits
This cake contains ingredients rich in protein (eggs, yogurt) and calcium (milk), while the nuts provide healthy fats and fiber. Of course, it is important to enjoy these treats in moderation, considering the sugar and fat content.

Frequently asked questions
1. Can I use a different type of yogurt?
Yes, you can try Greek yogurt for a creamier texture or lactose-free yogurt if you are intolerant.

2. How can I make the cake less sweet?
Reducing the amount of sugar in the cream or using a natural sweetener can be a solution.

3. Can I replace cappuccino with something else?
Certainly! You can use cocoa or melted chocolate for a more chocolatey version.
