Preheat the oven to 200°C/395°F (fan oven 180°C/360°F).
Mix the eggs in a bowl with the hot water.
Beat till creamy and add spoon by spoon the sugar.
Sift the flour and baking powder over the eggs.
Fold in with a wooden spoon.
Sprinkle a greased springform with breadcrumbs and spoon the batter in.
Bake the cake 20-30 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack and cut 2 times horizontal.
Stir the yolks for the stuffing with sugar, cornstarch and a spoon milk. Cook the rest of the milk and add while beating well the yolks.

cake. Spoon the rest in a piping bag and garnish the pie with cream and fruit.
