History of Cream Cake:

Cream cakes were traditionally served during special occasions such as weddings and birthdays due to their luxurious and celebratory nature.

- Cream cakes can be made with different flavors such as vanilla, chocolate, or even fruit-flavored fillings.
- Variations of cream cakes can also be found in different cultures. For example, Javanese cuisine has a version called "Kue Lapis Surabaya," which is a layered cream cake with a thick chocolate filling.

Now, let's dive into Mrs. Josie Yager's Cream Cake recipe:

Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 and 1/2 cups flour
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Flavoring (such as vanilla extract or almond extract) to taste

Cream Filling:
- 3/4 pint milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- Flavoring (such as vanilla extract) to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three round cake pans.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.

3. Sift the flour and baking powder together and add them to the creamed sugar and eggs mixture. Mix well.

4. Gradually add water to the batter, ensuring it is well incorporated.

5. Add your preferred flavoring to the batter and mix until evenly distributed.

6. Divide the batter equally among the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.

7. Place the cake pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. While the cake is baking, prepare the cream filling. In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer.

9. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, cornstarch, and sugar until well combined.

10. Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.

11. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency.

12. Remove from heat and add your preferred flavoring to the cream filling. Allow it to cool completely.

13. Once the cake layers have cooled, carefully remove them from the pans.

14. Spread the cream filling evenly between the layers, stacking them one on top of the other.

15. Optionally, you can frost the cake with whipped cream or your favorite frosting for extra indulgence.

16. Place the assembled cream cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.

17. Serve chilled and enjoy!
