A delightful dessert combining soft bread with a rich cream filling and caramelized almond topping.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 package active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/4 cup honey

Instructions

  1. Heat milk in a small saucepan until warm. Remove from heat, add yeast and a pinch of sugar; let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add the warmed milk mixture, melted butter, and eggs; mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead dough on a floured surface until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour.

  6. Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove.
  7. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form; fold in the vanilla pudding mix.
  8. Cut the cakes in half horizontally. Spread the custard cream between the layers and stack them.
  9. Cook honey and sliced almonds in a small saucepan until the almonds are toasted.
  10. Top the cake with the honey-glazed almonds. Serve and enjoy!
