Torta Mimosa

I have never celebrated the feast of the woman except on rare occasions by giovanisima but I found a great excuse to try to make the famous "Torta Mimosa." That triumph
tocchettini of sponge cake has always intrigued me. So
away in search of a recipe, a good product! I had
convinced much of the proceedings but GialloZafferano 4 eggs 8 egg yolks and I am seemed excessive, so I peeked on "sweeter" I remembered a recipe for some time and copy here copy there at the end I made my own version that I have to say is excellent results, but certainly a bomb if the dessert is sweet eh! :-) It is a
difettuccio had it .... but I had to wet it more, I did not because the recipe calls for Cointreau and Brandy or alternatively Alchermes and I opted for this because they would eat it because of children and it seemed the lesser evil but I do not like: / then I went cautious ... and I messed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway ... here's
Ingredients:

• For the sponge cake

2. 340 grams of flour 340 g sugar 8 eggs
3. 
   
4. a teaspoon of vanilla extract

• For the filling:

1. 1000 g
2. milk 4 eggs
   
3. 200 g sugar 100 g flour
5. peel of 1 lemon

• 750 g of whipped cream
• alchermes
• various decorations

So ... I have prepared the sponge cake the day before.
I first installed the eggs and sugar in a planet for at least 25 minutes, then when the compound, "wrote" I stopped the engine and I poured the flour and vanilla, stirring with a spatula from the bottom up by forfeit air to the mixture and being careful the mixture does not disassemble. Once you've done everything I paid in two buttered molds, one big and one smaller and bake at 180 degrees for 35 ', which are small enough for the pan, and for that great little longer and I adjusted the test toothpick. With Thermomix
I made the pastry cream in two batches, dividing the ingredients in half and then repeating the same procedure: I first chopped lemon peel and sugar and then I go for 7 'to 90 ° speed. 4 all the ingredients together.
Once ready, I poured into a pan of glass and covered with a film just by spreading the cream so it will not be formed that annoying skins. (I do not remember where I read this valuable advice!).
While waiting for that cool I put on the whipped cream with bimby always prepared and wet with water and sugar alchermes, put on the fire until the sugar is dissolved for good. The doses?? A watchful eye ;-).
When the custard is cold, add it to half of the whipped cream.
I cut the small sponge cake in half, then into strips and then into many cubes.
big one in three layers: I put the first base in a circle, drenched in the bathroom (you abound!) And covered with plenty of cream, level well and put the second layer of sponge and repeat wet-cream, so for the third layer and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Then remove from refrigerator and cover entire cake with whipped cream spatulating remained well. At this point
arranged one by one, the squares of cake to cover the whole cake. I have not been enough because I had to bake in a pan with a diameter of 22 cm instead of 26 mine was then the remaining mixture was enough to make a cake too small.
But we did not lose heart .... my doll decorated with sugar flowers.
And here's the result:
