Crinkle Cake
The crinkle cake was recently popularized across the globe after going viral on TikTok. We wanted to test it out for ourselves, and have developed this revised and improved version. Crisp yet tender, this phyllo-based cake with a creamy custard filling is absolutely irresistible…and a new favourite among RICARDO staff!
Ingredients
- 1 box (454 g) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- 1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 egg
- 1 cup (210 g) sugar
- ½ cup (125 ml) 35% cream
- ½ cup (125 ml) milk
- 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (315 g) sugar
- ½ cup (125 ml) water
- 2 tsp (10 ml) lemon juice
Instructions
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Generously butter an 18 x 13-inch (46 x 33 cm) non-stick baking sheet.
- On a work surface, lay two sheets of phyllo one on top of the other. Fold them accordion-style, widthwise, until they are about ¾ inch (2 cm) thick, and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets to completely cover the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the butter evenly over the phyllo. Bake for another 10 minutes.
