Preparation

  2. Pour the cooled cream filling over the batter.
  3. Pour the remaining dough on top.
Baking

  2. After baking, allow the cake to cool completely.
  3. Dust with icing sugar or your favorite garnish before serving.

Notes

Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature for the best results. Don’t open the oven door too early; this can cause the cake to collapse. For a moist texture, be careful not to overbake the cake. Let the cake cool completely before adding any toppings to avoid melting.
