- 150 grams (1 ½ cups) all-purpose flour  
- 100 ml (½ cup) water  
- 100 ml (½ cup) milk  
- 80 grams (⅓ cup) butter (Use unsalted for better control)  
- 4 large eggs  
- 1 teaspoon baking powder  
- ½ teaspoon salt  
- 500 ml (2 cups) milk  
- 150 grams (¾ cup) sugar  
- 100 grams (1 cup) all-purpose flour  
- 2 large eggs  
- 180 grams (¾ cup) butter (Again, unsalted works best here)  
- Icing sugar or your favorite garnish  

### How to Make It  
#### Preparing the Dough  
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) — you’ll want it nice and warm for the cake. In a large bowl, combine 150 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Give it a gentle whisk to blend everything together. In another bowl, melt 80 grams of butter until it's wonderfully soft and velvety. Add in 4 eggs, 100 ml of milk, and 100 ml of water, whisking until everything is perfectly combined.

Now, pour this liquid mixture into your dry ingredients and mix lightly until just combined. You want to feel that excitement as you see the batter come together. It should be smooth yet thick, a hug in cake form!

#### Making the Cream Filling  
In a saucepan, heat 500 ml of milk over medium heat. Combine 150 grams of sugar and 100 grams of flour in a bowl, and then gradually stir this mixture into the hot milk. Whisk very well, letting it thicken while it simmers — this is the part where you get that rich, creamy filling that dreams are made of! 

Once it’s thick and gloriously creamy, remove it from the heat and let it cool a bit. Fold in 180 grams of softened butter and 2 eggs until everything is beautifully blended. You’ll love the luscious texture and that intoxicating sweet smell wafting up.

#### Assembling the Cake  
Now, pour half of your cake batter into a greased baking dish and smooth it out. Spread that heavenly cream filling over the batter like a soft cloud. Finally, pour the remaining batter on top, covering the filling with even care. 

Bake it in your preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until you see golden edges and your kitchen smells like heaven. Let it sit for a few minutes before garnishing with icing sugar or a sprinkle of your favorite topping. 

### Kitchen Tips  
- **One time-saving trick**: You can make the cream filling while the first half of the batter bakes to speed things up a bit!  
- **One fix for a common mistake**: If your cake sinks after baking, it might be due to overmixing. Handle your batter gently.  
- **One creative flavor variation**: Add a splash of vanilla or almond extract to the cream filling for an extra flavor kick!  

### Serving Ideas  
This *Melt-in-Your-Mouth Cake: A Simple Delight That Costs Next to Nothing* is perfect for any occasion! Picture it at family dinners or Sunday brunch, where it could be the centerpiece of your table. Serve it warm, alongside a scoop of ice cream, or let it stand alone with a light dusting of icing sugar. You could even pair it with fresh berries and a dollop of whipped cream — it’ll make your heart sing!  

### Storing & Leftovers  
- Store leftovers in the fridge, wrapped tightly, for up to three days.  
- If you want to freeze it, wrap individual pieces well and store them for up to a month.  
- One fun leftover idea: crumble a piece over yogurt or a fruit salad for a quick breakfast!
