In a saucepan, whisk together milk, cornstarch, sugar, and egg yolks. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool completely.

Make the Cake Base:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a rectangular baking pan with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla.

Sift together flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix until smooth.

Assemble the Cake:

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.

Using a piping bag or spoon, add strips of the cooled custard over the batter.

Sprinkle sliced almonds generously on top.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (avoiding the custard) comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely before removing from the pan.

Decorate:
Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving for an elegant finish.
