Recipe Grandmother's Cake

For the cream: 750 ml of milk, lemon peel, 3 eggs, 6 tablespoons of sugar, 6 tablespoons of flour. For the pastry: 3 eggs, 150 grams of sugar, 120 grams of sunflower oil, 1/2 sachet of vanilla yeast, 500 grams of flour. To garnish: 400 g of pine nuts, icing sugar

Let's start preparing the cream. Then put the milk with the lemon peel to heat in a saucepan. Then we break the eggs into another bowl. Add the sugar, mix with the whisk and stir in the flour, continuing to mix well to avoid lumps. Then remove the lemon peel from the hot milk and add it to the mixture. We bring it all to the fire and mix for about 5 minutes until the cream thickens. We cover the cream with some film and put it aside. We prepare the pastry: let's break 3 eggs in a bowl, add the sugar, the seed oil, half a sachet of yeast, mix lightly with your hands and begin to incorporate the flour gradually. We knead well on the work surface, then we divide the dough into 2 parts and spread a part in the greased pan with oil and flour to create the base. We cut off the excess edges and fill our base with the cream. Spread the other half of the cake and cover the cake by always cutting off the excess edges and sealing all the edges with your fingers. We prick the surface with a fork and sprinkle with pine nuts. Bake at 170 degrees for about 45 minutes in a static oven. Once the cooking time is over, take it out and let it cool well, then sprinkle with icing sugar and enjoy.
