Method:

1. Prepare the sponge cake batter: whisk the eggs and the sugar in a salad bowl, until the mixture is firm and mousse like. Mix in the flour and flavor with the vanilla extract. Set aside.

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.

3. Working on a floured countertop, roll out the pie crust dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 1/8 inch (3 mm).

4. Line a greased tart pan or a 10 1/3 inch (26 cm) cake pan with the dough. Prick the dough with a fork.

5. Mix the coconut jelly and the pastry cream. Pour the mixture on top of the dough, filling the pan half full. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Pour the sponge cake batter over the mixture. Smooth it out.

6. Bake in the center of the oven for 30 - 45 min. Allow it to cool before turning it  out.
