This cake, with its elegant appearance and fine texture, is perfect for any occasion, from festive meals to a simple gathering with friends. Below, I will present a detailed, step-by-step recipe to help you achieve a perfect result.

Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 21 minutes
Total time: 51 minutes
Number of servings: 12-16

Necessary ingredients:

*For the layers:*
- 500 g flour
- 3 large eggs
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 6 tablespoons oil
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch of salt

*For the cream:*
- 500 ml milk
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 275 g powdered sugar
- 1 fresh lemon
- 250 g margarine (at room temperature)

*For the glaze:*
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 packets vanilla sugar

Preparation:

*Step 1: Preparing the layers*
In a large bowl, start by mixing the 3 eggs with the powdered sugar using an electric mixer. This step is essential as we will aerate the eggs, making the cake fluffy. Add the oil and milk and continue mixing until the mixture is homogeneous.

Then, gradually add the 400 g of flour mixed with the baking powder and salt to this mixture. Mix on low speed to avoid splattering. When the dough becomes too hard to mix with the mixer, start kneading it by hand. Continue adding flour until you obtain an elastic dough that easily comes off your hands.

Divide the dough into 3 equal balls. On a floured surface, roll out each ball with a rolling pin, forming layers the size of your baking tray (33x50 cm or, if you have a smaller tray, 27x34 cm). Bake each layer one at a time in the greased and parchment-lined tray for about 7 minutes. Check constantly, as the layers can burn easily. They are ready when they turn golden and slightly firm to the touch.

*Step 2: Preparing the cream*
In a saucepan, heat the milk together with the 2 tablespoons of flour. Stir constantly to prevent lumps from forming until the mixture thickens and resembles the consistency of buttermilk. Once thickened, let it cook for another 5 minutes, stirring continuously, then set aside to cool.

Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix the margarine at room temperature with the powdered sugar until you get a fluffy cream. Once the milk mixture has cooled, gradually add it to the mixed margarine, stirring well to combine. Grate the zest of half a lemon and add it to the cream. Squeeze the juice from the lemon and incorporate it into the margarine cream, mixing until uniform.

*Step 3: Assembling the cake*
On a platter, place the first layer of dough. Spread a portion of the cream evenly, then add the second layer. Continue with another layer of cream and place the last layer on top. Finally, sprinkle the mixture of powdered sugar with vanilla sugar over the cake, using a sieve to achieve an even layer.

It is important to note that the layers will initially be firmer. I recommend letting the cake sit in the refrigerator overnight so that the layers absorb moisture from the cream and become soft and easy to cut.

Practical tips:
1. For a more intense flavor, you can add a few drops of vanilla essence to the margarine cream.
2. If you prefer a healthier version, you can replace margarine with butter.
3. For a crunchy note, add ground nuts to the cream.

Nutritional benefits:
This cake contains eggs, which are an excellent source of protein, and milk, rich in calcium. However, it is important to consume it in moderation, considering the sugar and fat content.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, but you will need to adjust the liquid amounts, as whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture.
- How can I store the cake? You can keep it in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
- Can I freeze it? Yes, you can freeze the cake, but it is recommended to consume it fresh to enjoy its soft texture.

Recommended pairings:
This cake pairs excellently with a cup of coffee or aromatic tea. You can also serve it with vanilla ice cream or a berry sauce to add a pleasant contrast of flavors.

I wish you happy cooking and enjoy every bite of this delicious cake! Once you try it, you won't be able to resist the temptation to make it again, as it is truly a quick and simple yet sophisticated dessert that will bring smiles to the faces of your loved ones!
