Jean's Cream Puff Cake. Once upon a time, a darling coworker (Jean!)

Jean's Cream Puff Cake

Made this cake for one of our coworkers on her birthday. It was soooo good, we were all begging for the recipe. Jean was kind enough to share, and I couldn't even wait I week. I had to make this thing again. It's a lot of cake for just me and Hubs (and Robot), though, so the plan was to bring it into work for my coworkers to yet again enjoy. I tend to get to work early, about 6am. Flash forward to 3 days later - I realize, as I shove my lunch in the breakroom fridge that morning, that nooooo! About a third of it was missing.

The cake is moist and dripping with fresh flavors and we could not but fall in love with this one. This particular recipe had been on my to-do list for a long time, and happy as I am to have finally given it a try, I also regret not having tried this earlier; this is a keeper. The cake tastes fabulous just by itself, gets better as it matures for a couple of days and tastes even better with some cold ice cream or whipped cream and preserved orange slices on the side. We have had it every way, and delighted a few friends of ours too. This is the cake to have by your coffee cup, or if you would want a slice after your meal, make it elegant with some cream and compote.
