Description
Vanilla Magic Custard Cake is a delightful dessert that magically forms three layers from a single batter—an airy sponge on top, a silky custard in the middle, and a dense, creamy base. It’s a simple yet impressive treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- For a firmer custard, refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
- Experiment with flavors by adding almond extract or citrus zest.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla until pale. Add melted butter, then gradually mix in flour and salt.
- Slowly pour in warm milk while stirring. The batter will be thin.
- Gently fold in the egg whites, keeping the mixture airy.
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50-55 minutes until the top is golden.
- Let it cool completely, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
