Let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then run a thin knife around the edge and de-pan the cake. Let it cool completely before splitting into 2 layers.pastry studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236016716310805888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897079154160126133.post-69704698710782222652010-08-07T14:21:07.757-07:002010-08-07T14:21:07.757-07:00Hi Ben David.

This is the recipe I use if I'm making a regular cake version:<br /><br />2 C milk<br />1/2 C sugar<br />6 egg yolks<br />2 T cornstarch<br />2 T flour<br />1 t vanilla<br />2 oz (4 T) butter<br /><br />The method is the same. I do not fold in any whipped cream. The cake and the glaze ingredients are the same.pastry studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18236016716310805888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897079154160126133.post-18083534487149151642010-08-07T14:05:54.052-07:002010-08-07T14:05:54.052-07:00These look great, but I really like the pastry cre...These look great, but I really like the pastry cream. And the original recipe calls for splitting the cake and sandwiching a layer of pastry cream - which looks like more (and possibly thicker) cream than your version.<br /><br />Will your cream hold up as a separate layer?Ben Davidhttp://b_david2@netvision.net.ilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4897079154160126133.post-2487776530611688922010-08-07T04:06:30.434-07:002010-08-07T04:06:30.434-07:00These are beautiful little cakes!
