Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30-40 minutes
Total time: 60 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

*For the layers:*
- 3 cups of yogurt (150 ml each)
- 0.5 cup of oil
- 6 cups of sugar
- 9 cups of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 6 eggs
- 1 tablespoon of coconut
- Zest of 1 lemon

*For the cream:*
- 500 ml of milk
- 4 eggs
- 30 g of flour
- 100 g of sugar
- Vanilla (to taste)

*For decoration:*
- 100 g of ground nuts
- 50 g of coconut
- 50 g of grated chocolate

Preparation Steps:

1. Preparing the Layers:
Start by preparing two cake pans: one large and one smaller. Make sure to grease them well with butter to prevent sticking. In a large bowl, combine the yogurt with the sugar, eggs, and oil. Use the same measuring cup for the oil, sugar, and flour to ensure the ingredients are proportioned correctly.

2. Mixing the Ingredients:
Gradually add the flour previously mixed with the baking powder. It's important to mix slowly, with a spatula or whisk, to avoid lumps. Also add the coconut and the lemon zest, which will give a touch of freshness to the cake.

3. Baking the Layers:
Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Place them in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool slightly before removing them from the pans.

4. Preparing the Cream:
In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil, adding vanilla for flavor. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and flour. When the milk starts to boil, pour in the egg and flour mixture, stirring continuously over low heat until the cream thickens. It should have a smooth and velvety consistency.

5. Assembling the Cake:
Once the layers have cooled, slice them horizontally if necessary to make them evenly thick. Pour the cream over the three layers and let it cool completely before decorating.

6. Decorating:
Sprinkle the ground nuts, coconut, and grated chocolate on top for an attractive look and delicious taste. You can also use fresh fruits or melted chocolate for an extra touch.

Practical Tips:

- Ingredients: Choose natural yogurt without additives for the most authentic taste. Sunflower oil is an excellent choice, but you can experiment with coconut oil for a subtle flavor.
- Variations: You can replace nuts with hazelnuts or almonds, and for a more intense chocolate flavor, add cocoa to the batter.
- Serving: The Mickey Cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of flavored coffee.

Nutritional Benefits:

This cake contains protein-rich ingredients thanks to the eggs and yogurt, while the nuts provide a healthy dose of fats. Additionally, lemon and vanilla offer vitamins and antioxidants, making this cake not just a sweet treat, but also a healthier choice.
