Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt butter, milk, water, and salt over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder.
  3. Gradually stir the butter mixture into the dry ingredients until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Allow the dough to cool slightly, then mix in the eggs one at a time.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Divide the dough and spread into greased baking pans. Bake for about 20 minutes.
  6. In a separate saucepan, beat eggs and sugar until frothy; gradually add flour and milk, stirring until thick.
  7. Place one baked layer on a platter, spread half of the cream, add the second layer, and top with remaining cream.
  8. Wrap the assembled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.
