Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:
For the layers:
- 500 g flour
- 250 g butter (or margarine), at room temperature
- 200 g sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 packet baking powder
- A pinch of salt

For the cream:
- 1 liter milk
- 200 g sugar
- 4 eggs
- 100 g flour
- 50 g starch
- Vanilla essence (to taste)
- 200 g butter, at room temperature

For decoration:
- Powdered sugar (optional)
- Fresh fruits (e.g., raspberries or blueberries for a contrast of color and taste)

Instructions:

1. Preparing the layers: In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until creamy and airy. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each. Incorporate the flour mixture, stirring until you obtain a homogeneous and manageable dough. Divide the dough into four equal portions, form balls, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

2. Baking the layers: Preheat the oven to 180°C. On a floured surface, roll out each portion of dough into a thin layer. Bake each layer on a baking tray lined with parchment paper for about 8-10 minutes until they are lightly golden. After baking, let them cool completely on a rack.

3. Preparing the cream: In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil. In a bowl, mix the sugar, eggs, flour, and starch until you obtain a homogeneous mixture. When the milk starts to boil, carefully add the egg mixture while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens. Once ready, remove from heat and add the vanilla essence. Let it cool, then incorporate the diced butter, mixing well.

4. Assembling the cake: On a platter, place the first layer of dough. Spread some of the cream evenly over the layer, then repeat the process with the other layers. The last layer will be covered with the remaining cream.

5. Cooling and serving: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. When serving, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top and decorate with fresh fruits for an extra touch of flavor and appearance.

Practical tips:
- Use high-quality butter to achieve a rich and flavorful cream.
- You can experiment with different flavors in the cream, such as almond or rum essence, to personalize the dessert.
- If you want a quicker version, you can replace the dough layers with store-bought pastry sheets.

Each slice will take you on a journey of delicious textures and flavors, and making it will surely bring a smile to the faces of your loved ones. Enjoy every moment of cooking and savor the final result!

Beat the eggs well with the sugar. Add the oil and the ammonium extinguished with vinegar, then add the flour and knead until a dough of plasticine consistency is obtained. Divide the dough into four and roll out four thin sheets. Place the sheet on the bottom of a baking tray lined with flour and bake in a preheated oven at high heat. The sheets will be hard and brittle. CREAM: Put the milk in a pot over heat together with the starch, sugar (I added vanilla sugar), rum, and cocoa. Stir continuously to avoid lumps. When it starts to thicken, the cream is ready. Pour the hot cream between the sheets, place a weight on top to press them down, and refrigerate until the next day. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie with 2-3 tablespoons of sweet cream. Pour the obtained glaze over the sheets. Then make the glaze from white chocolate and create various patterns. Refrigerate for half an hour to harden the glaze, then it can be cut. Enjoy your meal! The recipe for Cake with sheets and cream was proposed by vio_dreams on the recipe forum.
