Ingredients:
- 1 2/3 cups of cake flour,
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder,
- 2/3 cup of sugar,
- 4 eggs,
- 1 3/4 sticks of butter,
- 2 packets of cream pudding powder,

- Then, prepare the custard cream. Melt the butter in a pan, add the milk, vanilla sugar, and pudding powder, and cook, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens.
- Finally, it's time for the walnut topping. Toast the walnuts in a pan, add the butter, honey, and powdered sugar, and stir until you get a smooth texture.
- Spread the cooled sponge cake with the apple puree and smooth the surface. Top it with the custard cream and then the walnut topping.
