## What Is Crinkle Cake Made Of?

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. You only need a handful of ingredients:

* **Phyllo dough** – the thin, delicate pastry that creates those signature layers
* **Butter** – brushed between the sheets for rich, golden crispness
* **Custard mixture** – made from eggs, sugar, milk, and vanilla
* Optional: **Simple syrup** or **powdered sugar** for an extra sweet finish

The phyllo is crinkled accordion-style, baked until golden, then drenched in custard and returned to the oven. It puffs, browns, and soaks in all that creamy goodness.

## Tips for the Perfect Crinkle Cake

* **Thaw your phyllo dough properly** – overnight in the fridge, then room temperature
* Be gentle with the phyllo, but don’t stress if it tears — **crinkles hide imperfections**
* Use **a pastry brush** to get butter into every crease
* Let it cool before slicing — it sets better and cuts cleaner

## Serving Suggestions

* Serve warm or at room temperature
* Dust with **powdered sugar**, **cinnamon**, or a **drizzle of honey**
* Pairs beautifully with **coffee or tea**
* Top with **whipped cream, nuts, or berries** for a more decadent dessert
