Tips from the cook:
– Do not reduce the amount of butter in the cream. The cake may become unstable.
Eggs for the cream
– The dough does not need to be leveled before baking. On the contrary, it will bubble up and look even more beautiful after cooking.
– Do not open the oven while baking. Only if you need to, then quickly and without slamming the door.

– The cream and butter must always be at the same temperature, otherwise the cream will split.
– Before you cover the cake, you need to brush the cream on the bottom. This way, the holes in the cake will be filled with cream.
