    3. Cool.

    VANILLA CREAM:
    1. Blend the corn flour with a little cold milk and add the rest of the milk, the sugar and the egg yolks.

    2. Cut the cake in half, sandwich it together with a layer of vanilla cream and put a layer of vanilla cream on the top.

    3. Then cover the whole cake, top and sides, with a thin layer of the pale green marzipan, smoothing this carefully on; finally, dust with icing sugar.
