Add flour, baking powder, sugar, butter, vanilla sugar, and 4 eggs into a mixing bowl.

Mix until well combined.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Transfer the batter into a springform pan and spread it evenly.

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.

In a medium-sized pot, heat butter, sugar, and honey until the butter melts and sugar dissolves.

Add heavy cream to the pot and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add almond slices and spread the mixture evenly on top of the baked cake.

Return the cake to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.

For the custard, heat some milk in a pot, reserving some to mix with sugar and instant pudding.

Bring the milk to a boil, then add the instant pudding mixture and mix constantly until thickened.

Transfer the custard to a bowl and cover with saran wrap to prevent a skin from forming.

Let the cake cool for about 20 minutes before removing the ring from the springform pan.

In a large bowl, add heavy cream and stabilizer, then mix until stiff peaks form.

Remove the foil from the custard and whisk to loosen it, then mix it with the whipped cream.

Cut the cooled cake in half horizontally using a long sharp knife.

Place the top half of the cake on a plate and set aside.

Put the ring back on the bottom half of the cake and spread the custard whipped cream mixture evenly on top.

Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove the foil and ring, then place the top half of the cake back on.
