Drita's Fantastic Baby-friendly Birthday Cake

For the base...pasta frolla.. you can prepare it in advance and put in the freezer..
_____Ingredients____
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 egg yolk
  • 300g  flour
  • 150 g unsalted butter, chilled and diced
  • 150 g sugar
  • vanillina(it's a powder, vanilla flavor)
  • levadura for desert

____Preparation____
A)Work all ingredients in a bowl with your hands( first all dry ingredients, flour, sugar butter and at the end add egs), smashing butter pieces with the tips of your fingers. When the dough starts coming together, transfer to a work surface, and knead for 30 seconds. Wrap dough in plastic wrap. Flatten and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven
B)Remove dough from plastic wrap, and dust with flour. Lightly dust a flat work surface with flour, and roll dough about half of it. Carefully transfer crust to a tart pan with a removable bottom. Press dough into mold, and prick bottom and sides with a fork( essentially give the form of the pan, decorating the sides). Roll the rolling pin over the top of the tart pan to remove excess dough (reserve scraps for another use). Bake  until crust is golden brown.(i put on the top beans or garbanzos so it doesn't come up)
