1. Preheat the oven to 180°C
2. Beat eggs and caster sugar until nice and thick and creamy.

4. Heat the milk and butter but do not boil (just melt the butter in the microwave)
5. Add Vanilla flavoring and then add to the flour and egg mixture
6. Divide dough into 2 x 20 cm pans.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes and remove from the oven (toothpick comes out clean when done)
8. While the cake is still warm, take yarn and cut each cake in 2 (so there are now 4 layers)
9. Leave to cool on a rack
10. Meanwhile make your custard filling:
11. Whisk together eggs and caster sugar until light and fluffy
12. Sieve the cornstarch and fold into the egg mixture.
13. Heat milk in a pot over low heat until it just begins to boil
14. Then add your egg mixture in a thin stream into the milk and stir constantly.

16. Remove from the stove and add the vanilla essence.
17. Allow to cool completely.
18. Divide the mixture into 4 in the pot
19. When the cake has cooled put one cake layer, custard fillings again cake layer and finish with custard filling.
20. You can sprinkle cinnamon on top or I baked some sweetened coconut in the oven and sprinkled it on top!

NOTE: I like more filling so you can make the custard filling more! But it’s a delicious moist cake so it’s not necessary!
