 Ingredients

• ½ cup (100 g) sugar

• ⅓ cup (40 g) cornstarch

• 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla sugar

• 2 tbsp butter (optional for extra creaminess)

For the Layers:

• 1–2 packs plain tea biscuits (Marie biscuits or similar)

• ½ cup (120 ml) milk or coffee (to lightly dip the biscuits, optional)

• Cocoa powder for dusting on top

 Instructions

1. Make the Custard

1. In a saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch.

2. Slowly pour in the milk while mixing to avoid lumps.

3. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a smooth custard.

4. Remove from heat and add vanilla and butter.

5. Let it cool slightly (warm but not hot).

2. Prepare the Mold

1. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to lift the cake out later.

3. Assemble the Cake

1. Add a layer of biscuits to the bottom of the lined pan.

   • Dip them quickly in milk or coffee if you want them softer (optional).

2. Spread a generous layer of custard over the biscuits.

3. Repeat the layers: biscuits → custard → biscuits → custard…

4. Finish with a biscuit layer on top.

4. Chill

1. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).

2. Unmold the cake onto a plate and peel off the plastic wrap.

3. Dust the entire top with cocoa powder.
