STEP BY STEP RECIPE
Step 1
For the dough, beat the softened butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy and white, 3 minutes. Reduce the speed and beat in the eggs, one at a time until smooth after adding each egg. Sprinkle in the vanilla seeds.
Step 2.
In a bowl, add the sifted flour, baking powder and salt in batches, alternating the dry mixture with the milk. Again, knead after each addition until smooth.
Step 3.
Grease the bottoms of 2 heatproof 14-16 cm round springforms with butter and sprinkle with flour. Shake off any excess flour. Do not grease the sides! Spread the dough out onto the molds. Bake in a preheated 180°C oven until fully cooked, 40-45 minutes. Leave to cool completely.
Step 4.
For the cream, in a heatproof bowl, beat the whites and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until puffy. Place the bowl in a water bath and heat the mixture, whisking constantly, for 2.5 to 3 minutes. It should become smooth and slightly thicken. It is better to measure the temperature of the mass with a thermometer, it should be 70-72 ° C.
Step 5.
Remove the bowl from the heat and gradually add the butter, cut into medium cubes. Whisk with a mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla and whisk slightly more.
Step 6
Each cake can be cut in half lengthwise or left unchanged. Assemble the cake by smearing all the bottom cakes with the cream. Leave 1/3 of the cream for the outer decoration. Spread on the sides and top. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 20-25 minutes.
Step 7.
Using a scraper or spatula, flatten the top and sides. Using a fork, texture the sides by cutting through the cream. Decorate some of the sides and top with sprinkles. Transfer the remaining cream to a pastry bag with a star nozzle and pipe it onto the cake. Place in the refrigerator until serving.
