Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then stir in the milk, water, and salt until combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder until evenly blended.
  3. Once the liquid mixture begins to boil, slowly whisk in the dry ingredients until a smooth ball forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl to cool for about 10 minutes, then add eggs one at a time until smooth.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease two 9-inch baking pans. Divide the dough and bake for about 20 minutes.
  6. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then gradually add flour and milk, cooking until thick.
  7. Remove the thickened filling from heat and let it cool, then blend with beaten butter until smooth.
  8. Once cool, layer the first cake, spread filling on top, add the second layer, and repeat with more filling.
  9. Chill the assembled cake for at least two hours, dust with icing sugar before serving, and enjoy.
