It looks impressive, but it's incredibly easy to bake.

Ingredients
For the Viennese soil
6 eggs
140 g sugar
1 pinch of salt
Peel of a lemon
1 pinch of vanilla sugar
105 g flour type 405
100 g wheat powder
90 g warm, melted butter
For the vanilla cream
200 ml whole milk
30 g sugar
1/2 vanilla pod
1 pinch of salt
80 g vanilla cream powder
Here’s how to prepare it:
Beat the eggs with the sugar, salt, lemon zest, and vanilla sugar until creamy. Sift the flour and carefully fold it into the egg mixture using a spatula. Then fold in the butter. Pour the mixture into a 26 cm diameter cake ring and bake at 180°C for about 30 minutes. For the vanilla cream, gently heat the milk with the sugar, vanilla pod, and salt. Stir in the cream powder and bring everything to a boil briefly, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Spread the cooled cake base with vanilla cream and top with fresh strawberries. Glaze with the cake glaze. Spread the edge of the cake with vanilla cream and decorate with sliced, toasted almonds.
