    100 ml milk (1/2 cup)
    80 grams butter (1/3 cup)
    A pinch of salt
    1 teaspoon sugar
    120 grams flour (1 cup)
    3-4 eggs (depending on size)
    Flaked almonds for topping
    For the Buttercream:

    140 grams butter at room temperature (2/3 cup)
    Prepared pudding from the cream filling (at room temperature)

    Directions:

    Prepare the Cream:
    Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together 2 eggs, 150 grams sugar, vanilla sugar, and 70 grams cornstarch.
    Add Milk: Gradually stir in 500 ml milk, mixing until smooth.
    Cook the Cream: Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency.
    Cool the Cream: Cover the cream with cling film, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool completely.
    Prepare the Choux Pastry:
    Heat Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine 100 ml water, 100 ml milk, 80 grams butter, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Heat until the butter is fully melted.
    Add Flour: Stir in 120 grams flour all at once and cook the batter for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until it forms a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan.
    Cool Slightly: Remove from heat and let the dough cool for about 4 minutes.Add Eggs: Gradually add 3-4 eggs to the dough, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. The dough should slowly pull away from the spoon when lifted.
    Form and Bake: Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F). On a baking sheet, pipe or spoon the dough into a circle with a diameter of 18 cm (7 inches). Brush with the remaining egg and sprinkle with flaked almonds. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely.
    Prepare the Buttercream:
    Mix Buttercream: Gradually add the room temperature pudding to the 140 grams of room temperature butter, mixing until smooth and creamy.
    Assemble the Cake:
    Slice and Fill: Slice the cooled choux pastry horizontally to create two layers. Spread the buttercream evenly on the bottom layer and place the top layer over it.
    Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cake for 30 minutes before serving to allow the cream to set.
    Serving Suggestions:
    Serve chilled with a dusting of powdered sugar on top.
    Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful dessert experience.
    Garnish with fresh berries for added color and flavor.
    Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
    Cooking Tips:
    Ensure the cream and butter are at room temperature before mixing to avoid curdling.
    If the choux pastry dough is too thick, add a bit more egg, little by little, until the consistency is right.
    Allow the choux pastry to cool completely before slicing to avoid deflation.
    To prevent the choux pastry from becoming soggy, assemble the cake shortly before serving.
