Italian Easter Mimosa cake with pineapple instructions

1. Whip the egg whites with 2/3 of the sugar. Whip the yolks with the hot water and the remaining sugar.
2. Stir the egg whites and yolks together. Add the vanilla extract and sift the flour over the eggs stirring the ingredients in gently. Do not whip them to avoid the air bubbles getting out. Pour the mixture on a greased round baking tin. Cook the cake at 180C for about 30 minutes until golden.
3. Let the cake cool down then slice it in the middle and cut half of the sponge off with a knife. Mix the water with the pineapple syrup and the liquor (optional) and soak the two sponge discs (not the sponge you’ve cut off).
4. Make the creme patisserie by whipping the yolks with the sugar until pale in colour. Then add the flour and stir it in..
5. Heat the milk up then pour it slowly, whilst always stirring, over the whipped yolks in a sauce pan. Put it over a source of heat, add the lemon zest cut into big pieces (be careful not to cut the white bit of the lemon too which is bitter).
6. Cook the mixture stirring all the time until it gets thick. Boil for a couple of minutes. Then remove the lemon zest Put the pineapple over one half of the spongeLet the creme patisserie cool down then whip the cream and stir it in. Then spread 1/3 of the mixture over the pineapple.
