How to Make the “Sweet Tooth” Summer Cake:

Prepare the Dough:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Bring water with salt to a boil, dissolve butter in it, add flour, and make a choux pastry, stirring thoroughly.
3. Remove from heat, let the dough cool slightly, then add eggs one by one, beating well after each addition.
4. Draw the contours of the future cake on paper.
5. Fill a pastry bag or a plastic bag with a cut corner with the choux pastry. Pipe the pastry along the outlined contours.
6. Make two layers with straight stripes and two layers with diagonal stripes.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, approximately 25 minutes.

Prepare the Cream:

1. Beat eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla sugar in a uniform mass, gradually pouring in hot milk.
2. Cook until thickened, stirring constantly over low heat. Let it cool.
3. Whip softened butter until wavy, adding the cooled mixture spoon by spoon.

Assemble the Cake:

1. Layer the baked pastry, alternating straight and diagonal stripes (the order doesn’t matter). Place fruits in the holes of each layer and spread cream over the entire layer.
2. Refrigerate to allow the cake to set and the cream to infuse.
3. Decorate with additional fruits as desired.

Enjoy your delicious creation!
