It troubles me, this cake.  It took two days to make it, it wasn’t cheap, with the butter biscuits and dulce de leche and yet it sits in the fridge and it’s inedible. It’s so horrendously sweet that having more than one small piece would make me sick.  Annoying, really.  The recipe is Dorota’s from mojewypieki.com and this lady knows what she’s doing. Maybe she used different biscuits, less sugary, maybe different brand of dulce,  I’m quite sure I will not only not be making it again, I’m wondering what to do with it. Could give it to somebody, a neighbour with 2 small boys maybe, but if the kids find it too sweet as well, it will look like I’m dumping it on someone. :-/

I started making it yesterday. I used 300 g of buttery French biscuits, lined the base of the tin with them, them warmed up about 300 g of canned dulce the leche( I used Nestle) and poured it over the biscuits. Then used another layer of biscuits on top.

In a pan I warmed up a glass of milk with about 4 tbsps of sugar and vanilla paste and 60 g of butter. In another pot I had half a glass of milk, 2 tbps of plain flour, 2,5 tbsp of potato flour and 2 eggs. All this whipped together I poured onto the boiling milk and mixed until thickened.  A bit like home made budyn. While still warm, it went onto the biscuits, then the last layer of them on top, cling film and into the fridge for the biscuits to soften. Today I finished it with whipped cream and grated, bitter chocolate.

It looks good, but is far too sweet, even for Florian. :-/
