  • Grater
  • Parchment Paper
  • Electric Whisk

Preparation: Crumble Cake with Fragrant Lemon Cream

Preliminaries for both traditional and Bimby versions:

  • Take the butter out of the fridge so that it becomes soft like an ointment (if using butter).

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour the cake pan or cover with parchment paper, using a springform 9.5 inches pan

  • In a saucepan, heat the milk with the vanilla and the zest of 1 lemon

    Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, with the whisks of an electric mixer or a stand mixer, beat the egg yolks and sweetener/sugar until you get a fluffy and frothy mixture. Then add the oat/tapioca/or cornstarch (depending on the nutritional choice), and mix again.

    Crumbled Lemon Cream Cake
  • When the milk starts to boil, add the beaten eggs, stir gently, and wait for the first bubbles to appear on the surface.

  • At this point, remove the pot from the heat and mix quickly with a whisk. The cream will thicken immediately.

    Transfer it to a wide, shallow dish, cover with plastic wrap in contact with the cream, and let it cool.

    Custard
  • In a large bowl, place the chosen flour, oil, egg, baking powder, and sweetener, and knead, avoiding compacting the mixture, which should remain crumbly.

    To do this, gather the mixture between your hands and rub them against each other.

  • Transfer 2/3 of the crumbs to the bottom of the cake pan, spreading them evenly without pressing.

  • Spread the lemon cream over the base of the cake in spoonfuls, without pressing, as it will spread on its own with heat, then cover with the remaining crumbs.

    Custard
  • Bake in a hot oven for 30 or 35 minutes (350°F). Let the crumble cool before removing from the mold.
