Instructions
Step 1
Beat the softened butter and sugar with a mixer until fluffy. Then add the beaten egg, stir. Stir the baking powder into the flour. Add the flour mixture in portions to the creamy egg mass, stirring constantly.
Step 2
Spoon the dough into a baking dish and spread evenly. Bake the biscuit in an oven preheated to 190 ° C for 15 minutes. The finished biscuit should spring under your fingers. Let the cake cool in the tin, then lay out.
Step 3
Make lemon cream. Mix yolks with sugar, add lemon zest, chopped on a fine grater. Then stir in the starch and 2 tablespoons of milk.
Step 4
Bring the remaining milk to a boil over low heat. Pour the hot milk, stirring continuously, into the yolk mixture. Pour the resulting mixture back into the saucepan and boil the cream over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 5
If lumps appear, remove the pan from heat and quickly whisk the cream until smooth and put back on fire. When the mixture thickens and becomes homogeneous, stir in the lemon juice and pour the cream into a clean bowl. Cover the cream dish with cling film and let cool.
Step 6
Whisk in the cream until it begins to hold its shape. Add whipped cream to the cooled cream, mix thoroughly until smooth. Prepare the dishes and place the cooled biscuit on it.
Step 7
Place the lemon cream on top and spread it evenly over the entire sponge cake. Place the pie in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Before serving, gently place the cake out of the pan on a serving plate and garnish with blackberries or any berries.
