Traditional cream cake

Sweet with cream filling

Ingredients

for the dough:

  • 1 egg;
  • 100gr softened butter into pieces;
  • 200gr flour;
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar.

for the filling:

  • 250ml fresh cream;
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar;
  • some flour;
  • cinnamon powder.

Directions

Mix quickly the butter with sugar, egg and flour obtaining a mixture just a little softer than traditional pasta frolla, then roll it out with the help of slightly moistened hands in a previously greased and floured cake pan, leaving on the bottom of it small depressions created by fingers and preparing a board to accommodate the filling.

Mix the cream with sugar, a level spoonful of flour and cinnamon powder, pour it over the dough and sprinkle it with other cinnamon. Bake in preheated oven at 180°C for about 25min (check the cooking edge of the dough), the filling will be cooked but still creamy.

Remove from oven and let it cool before serving.
