6 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Beat the eggs with sugar for 12 minutes until fluffy, then mix in the flour and bake in a dome-shaped pan for 22 minutes.
  2. 2 Cook the custard with milk, egg yolks, cornstarch, and lemon zest for 8 minutes.
  3. 3 Mix the cooled egg cream with the whipped cream to make a smooth lemon cream.
  4. 4 Hollow out the center of the domed pastry, then drizzle with orange liqueur syrup and fill with lemon cream.
  5. 5 Cover the cake with the remaining, more diluted lemon cream.
  6. 6 Refrigerate for 4 hours to allow the topping to set; serve immediately to prevent the cream from melting and dripping onto the plate.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 2 hr 44 min

    Replace the dome-shaped baking step in step 1: spray the mold with oil, run the hot air boiler at 195 degrees for 14 minutes, and rotate the tray after 7 minutes; the domes will bake quickly, do not flip, and divide into batches.
