Start with the vanilla cream.
Get a saucepan and whisk.
Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla.
The mixture should be light and smooth.
Add the cornstarch.
Stir until everything is combined.
Heat the milk separately until it almost boils.
Slowly pour the hot milk over the egg mixture. Whisk constantly. Pour everything back into the saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly. After a few minutes, the cream will start to thicken. When it is smooth and creamy, remove from the heat. Add the butter. Stir until it is completely melted. Cover the cream with cling film directly on the surface. This will prevent a skin from forming. Let it cool completely. Now prepare the cake. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a cake tin thoroughly. Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Add the sugar and icing sugar. Beat for a long time until the mixture is fluffy. Add the grated lemon zest. This will give it a fresh taste. Mix the flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Carefully fold in the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter last. Gently mix until the mixture is smooth. Pour the batter into the pan. Smooth the surface. Bake for about 20 minutes. The cake should be golden brown and cooked. Let it cool completely after baking. Now make the syrup. Put the sugar, water and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Boil for a while until the sugar has dissolved. Let it cool slightly. Brush or spoon the syrup over the cold cake. This will make it extra juicy. Carefully cut the cake open or make holes for the filling. Fill generously with vanilla cream. Spread cream on top if you like. Then decorate with fresh fruit. Arrange the fruit beautifully all over the cake. You can use different colors.
