  • Now put the dough in a 22 or 23 cake pan (with a 22 cake the cake is slightly higher) and bake in the oven preheated to 180 ° C for about 25-30 minutes.
  • Remove from the mold and let cool on a wire rack.
  • Beat the cream for the topping until frothy and put it back in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  • Then serve again. Then stir in the orange blossom water and crumbled biscuits.
  • Place the cake base on a cake plate, spread the cream on and around it. Decorate as desired.
  • Place in the refrigerator until consumption (at least 2 hours) and keep there.
