This is one of everyone's favorite cake, its called Cremes and is made from puff pastry and vanilla cream, sounds very simple, the trick is in the technique of putting all together, to get the famous Cremsnit .

Cream

6  eggs
100 g flour ( amidon for cake)

Instructions:
PREHEAT oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
DIVIDE pastry into two equal pieces. Roll out half of pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 9-inch (25 cm) rectangle. Place pastry onto a parchment lined baking sheet and pierce the dough all over with a fork. BAKE for 10 to 12 minutes or until pastry is golden and pears are tender. REMOVE baking sheet from oven and let cool slightly.
For cream heat the milk  thoroughly bring to a boil on the stove in a large sauce pan as you will need to add later the eggs mixture.
