Carpathian Custard cake

Do you like eclairs? Then this recipe is for you! Vanilla eclair cake according to the Polish recipe. When making this cake, I remembered how we were taught to make custard dough last year at the pastry school. 1. Bake the dough only in the "Bottom" mode. It is better not to turn on the upper heating, otherwise the dough will start burning strongly from above. If there is convection in the oven, it is better to bake with it. 2. Never open the oven during baking. Otherwise, your dough will fall off very quickly and stick together. And everything will have to be redone.
