Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease two 8-by-2-inch round cake pans.
  3. For the cake: Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together into a bowl and set aside.
  4. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  5. Reduce the speed to medium-low.
  6. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating 30 seconds between additions.
  7. Add alternating increments of the flour mixture and buttermilk and vanilla, blending well after each addition; this should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  9. Bake for about 30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
  10. Cool in pans, on wire racks, for 10 minutes, unmold the cakes and let cool completely.
  11. Note: The cake recipe makes two 8-inch round cake layers.
  12. Only one is used for this recipe.
  13. To assemble cake: Cut the cake in half horizontally.
  14. Place one layer on a cake plate, spread cake with cold custard cream and sprinkle with brittle crumbs.
  15. Cover with the remaining layer of cake.
  16. Spread the remaining custard cream over cake, applying a thinner coat to the sides than the top.
  17. Chill for a least 1 hour before garnishing.
  18. To garnish, press brittle crumbs onto the sides of the cake with the palm of your hand and sprinkle a layer of crumbs on the top.
  19. Refrigerate until ready to use.
