Ingredients

For the sponge cake:

• 6 Eggs
• 250 gr. of sugar
• 100 gr. sweet potato starch
• 1 tablespoon of flour
• 1 teaspoon of yeast
• Juice of half a lemon
• Grated coconut, required amount

For the cream:

• 3 Yolks
• 150 gr. of sugar
• 3 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1/2 liter of milk
• 6 drops of vanilla essence (or alternatively, a cinnamon stick or boiled lemon peel)

Procedure

1. Sponge cake: Start by beating the yolks with the sugar until you get a fluffy mixture. Gradually add the sweet potato starch, yeast and flour. Add the lemon juice and finally, with enveloping movements, the egg whites previously beaten until stiff. Place the preparation in a previously buttered and floured mold, and bake.

2. Cream: In a saucepan, heat the milk with the cornstarch already dissolved. Add the sugar and stir well. When the cream has thickened, add the yolks and vanilla essence. Continue cooking for a few more minutes, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Once the cake is ready, cut it in half and fill it with this delicious cream. Cover the outside of the cake, including the sides, with the rest of the cream. Finish by sprinkling with grated coconut.

Tips for success:

• To make the cream very creamy, cook it over medium heat and keep stirring.
• The egg whites should be beaten until stiff in a clean, dry container.
• When filling the sponge cake, make sure to distribute the cream evenly.
• After assembling the cake, it is a good idea to put it in the refrigerator for a while before serving it. This settles the flavors and improves the texture.

With these tips and this recipe, you are ready to surprise everyone and show that baking, in addition to being an art, is a way to give love in every bite. Let’s cook!
