3 large Eggs

4. Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans, and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.

6. Make the pastry cream: in a saucepan, heat milk until simmering. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk yolks, sugar, until smooth. Add cornstarch whisk until incorporated. Remove the milk from heat, whisking constantly, slowly pour hot milk to yolk mixture to temper. Return tempered yolk mixture to the saucepan.
7. Place the saucepan over medium heat, cook the cream, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, whisk in butter and vanilla until butter is melted and incorporated.
