Preparation procedure

Preparation of the batter: Beat the eggs with part of the sugar until frothy. Then add the remaining sugar, the vanilla sugar, and beat until thick and frothy. Pour in the lukewarm water, stir in the ground nuts and finally, in portions, the flour mixed with the baking powder. Gently mix the batter.
Baking: Pour the batter onto a greased and floured baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C for about 15–20 minutes, until the surface turns golden. Let cool.
Preparation of the cream: Heat half of the milk with the sugar and the vanilla sugar. In the other half, dissolve the pudding powders and the flour. Pour the mixture into the hot milk and, stirring constantly, cook until thickened. Cover with cling film and let cool. Beat the butter until fluffy and gradually fold it into the cooled pudding. The cream must be smooth and airy.
Finishing the dessert: Spread the cream evenly over the cooled base. Sprinkle the surface with toasted ground nuts and let set in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours.
