Tips:
1. When making the coffee cake base, pay attention to adding the flour in batches, cutting or mixing. This cake batter is relatively dry and will defoam easily;
2. The butter in the custard cream filling can be added according to personal preference, and it is also possible to omit it;
3. When boiling the sugar, don't stir it at first, wait until the sugar is completely melted before stirring, otherwise it will cause sanding;
4. To boil the sugar, use a small fire, so as not to get over it, it will be bitter;
5. The cake must be frozen hard before cutting, otherwise the caramel nuts in the cake body will be difficult to cut, and the whole cake will be cut off.
