Make the dough:
Beat the softened butter with the sugar until fluffy. Gradually add the eggs and mix well until the mixture is creamy. Mix the baking powder with the flour and stir into the dough. If the dough is too stiff, simply add a splash of milk until a spreadable consistency is reached.
Spread the dough:
Spread the finished dough evenly onto a deep baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Prepare the crumble:
Cut the cold butter into small pieces and mix it with the sugar and flour to form thick crumbles. Tip: The less you knead, the crumblier the crumbles will be. Spread them generously over the dough.
Baking:
Bake the cake in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 20 minutes, until the crumbles are lightly browned.
Adding the Glaze:
Immediately after baking, pour the fresh cream evenly over the hot cake. Don’t worry—the cream will be completely absorbed by the cake, ensuring an incomparably moist finish.
Resting Time:
It’s best to let the cake rest overnight so the cream can work its magic.
