How to make Birthday Cake with Pastry Cream:

1. We gather all the ingredients to prepare the birthday cake with pastry cream.
2. We have chosen to prepare birthday cake with a chocolate and yogurt cake, but if you prefer you can prepare any other homemade cake.
3. Let’s start by cooking the chocolate yogurt cake. To do this, we mix the eggs with the sugar, add the chocolate yogurt and the sifted flour and yeast.
4. When it is well mixed, we transfer to an oven mold and put in the oven at 180ºC for 45 minutes
5. Meanwhile, we prepare the pastry cream.
6. To do this, we heat the milk with the vanilla essence and remove it from the heat when it starts to boil.
7. In a separate bowl, we beat the eggs with the icing sugar and the corn starch.
8. Mix the milk with the eggs and continue beating non-stop. We pass the mixture to the fire and leave it on low heat without stopping stirring until it thickens.
9. Once the pastry cream has thickened, we transfer it to a container, cover it with transparent paper and wait for it to cool down a bit before filling the cake.
10. When the cake has cooled, we open it in half with the help of a serrated knife and fill it with the pastry cream. To fill it we spread the cream with the help of a flat knife.
11. We cut the upper part of the cake a little smaller so that the filling can be seen once we cover the cake.
12. Cover the birthday cake and decorate with icing sugar and laminated almonds on top.
