  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp of cornstarch
  • 5 tbsp of sugar
  • Lemon zest
  • a little salt
  • 250 ml of whipping cream

For the syrup, we soften the sponge cake

Directions

Cooking sponge cake

  1. The first step is to prepare the sponge cake. We start with the preparation of sponge cake by beating the eggs with sugar. Eggs should be at room temperature and fresh.
  2. Break the eggs one by one and add them to a deep glass bowl. Add the sugar and beat it with an electric beater for 10 minutes until the eggs significantly increase in volume and will turn white, obtaining a creamy mass. Add the minced lemon peel and a little salt.
  3. Sift the flour and carefully add it little by little, mixing it with a spatula from the bottom to top.
  4. Divide the cake dough into two oven pans. I used 20 and 24 cm baking pans. We will cut one of the sponge cakes into three layers to assemble our Mimosa cake, and the other sponge cake will be our exterior cake decor.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees for 30 minutes. Let them cool and wait. First, we will clean the sponge cake from the crusts so that the sponge cake turns yellow. We cut one of the sponge cakes into three transverse slices, and we will divide the other into small cubes, eliminating the outer crust.

Custard CreamBest Homemade Custard Recipe- Family Cooking Recipes

  1. We can prepare the custard cream while we bake the sponge cake. You can find Here the full recipe on how to prepare the Custard Crem. We will let the custard cream cool by placing a cellophane bag on the surface.
  2. Beat the whipping cream separately until it gets firm, and we will combine it with custard cream to have a single cream for assembling our cake.
  3. We will cut the pineapple into small pieces and set it aside.

Syrup

We also prepare the syrup to soften the sponge cake. In a bowl, mix the water with the sugar, let it boil for a while until the sugar dissolves, let it cool a bit, and add the limoncello.

Cake Assembly

  1. When we have all ingredients ready, we will assemble the cake. We will place a layer of sponge cake on a cake serving plate. We soften it with the prepared syrup and cover it with a layer of custard cream. We throw pineapple pieces, scattering them all above the custard cream.
  2. Put the next layer, moisten this one too, and add cream and pineapple again.
  3. We repeat the same with the third sponge cake layer and coat it with the rest of the custard cream. We cover all surface and cake sides with custard cream.
  4. We will decorate the cake from the outside with pieces of diced sponge cake.
  5. Our cake is ready. We can serve it at the moment or keep it in the refrigerator for later.
