Easy 8 75 minuti
Ingredients
750 mL Whole Milk UHT Microfiltered Sterilgarda
6 egg
590 g Flour
270 g sugar
120 g sunflower seed oil
q.b. lemons
40 g pinoli
8 g lievito vanigliato
q.b. powdered sugar
Preparation
  1. Start by making the cream. Pour the Sterilgarda Whole Milk into a saucepan, add the lemon zest, and place on the heat.
  2. Meanwhile, crack 3 eggs into another saucepan and whisk. Add 6 tablespoons of sugar and, continuing to whisk, add 6 tablespoons of flour. It's important to keep stirring while adding the ingredients to avoid lumps.
  3. Once the Sterilgarda Whole Milk is hot, turn off the heat, remove the lemon peels, and add it to the cream. Return to the heat and continue stirring for about 5 minutes, until the cream thickens. Then cover the pan with plastic wrap to prevent a crust from forming on the cream.
  4. Break 3 eggs into a bowl and add the remaining sugar, seed oil and half a sachet of vanilla yeast.
  5. Stir and gradually add the flour. When it's no longer possible to stir, turn the mixture out onto a work surface and knead with your hands until the dough is smooth and doesn't stick to your fingers.
  6. Prepare a greased and floured baking pan. Divide the dough in half and roll out with a rolling pin to form a disk that will be placed on the pan to form the base of the cake (trim off any excess edges with a knife).
  7. Pour the previously created cream onto the cake base. Take the other half of the dough and create a second disc. Place this on top of the cake, trim the excess edges, and seal the edges.
  8. Make holes in the surface, add the pine nuts on the cake as a garnish and bake at 170°C for 45 minutes in a static oven.
  9. Once cooked, let the cake cool and sprinkle with icing sugar.
