Magic Custard Cake is a delightful dessert with a unique texture thatβs both creamy and light. Hereβs a simple recipe to make it:
Magic Custard Cake
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or 2%)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, separate the egg yolks from the whites. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and creamy.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the yolk mixture, and mix well.
- Sift the flour and salt into the mixture, and stir until fully incorporated.
- Whip Egg Whites:
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Mixtures:
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Be careful not to deflate the whites too much; fold until just combined.
- Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
The magic happens during baking, as the batter separates into three layers: a dense, custard-like bottom, a light, airy middle, and a golden top. Enjoy!
