Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer
  • Spatula
  • Springform pan (Ø 26 cm)
  • Rolling pin (for marzipan)

Ingredients

  • 6 medium eggs
  • 250 g sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 100 g wheat flour Type 405
  • 50 g ground almonds (blanched) or additional flour
  • 1 package vanilla pudding powder
  • 1 package vanilla pudding powder
  • 70 g sugar
  • 450 ml milk
  • 400 g cream
  • 1 ready-made marzipan blanket (approx. 450 g)
  • q.s. powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (or 160°C for convection ovens) and line a springform pan (Ø 26 cm) with baking paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, sugar, and salt; whisk on high speed for 4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  • Mix flour, ground almonds, and vanilla pudding powder in a separate bowl, then gently fold into the whipped egg mixture.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared mold, smooth the top, and bake for about 45 minutes, then cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
  • For the filling, mix pudding powder, sugar, and 4 tablespoons of milk in a bowl, then heat the remaining milk until boiling and stir in the pudding mixture; simmer for 1-2 minutes until thickened.
  • Transfer the pudding to a bowl, cover with cling film, and let cool completely; whip the cream until stiff peaks form and fold into the cooled pudding.
  • Slice the sponge horizontally into three layers and place the first layer on a plate; add cream on top and repeat with remaining layers.
  • Cover the entire cake with the leftover cream, drape the marzipan over the cake, and dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

For an extra flavor boost, brush each sponge layer with apricot jam before adding the cream.
Store the cake in the fridge and it will remain fresh for up to 3 days; it can also be frozen without the marzipan topping.
Decorate the cake with fresh berries or edible flowers for a pop of color and elegance. Enjoy your delightful Bavarian Cream Delight!
