Soft and Creamy Vanilla Magic Custard Cake
Fun, decadent dessert that is light and fluffy on top with a dense cake layer on the bottom. This cake is excellent to serve on a warm day.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 c. unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 1 1/4 c. powdered sugar 150 grams
- 2 c. milk lukewarm
- 1 c. flour 115 grams
- powdered sugar for dusting
- 4 eggs separated
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Set the oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare an 8 x 8-inch baking dish. Lightly grease and set aside.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Until pale yellow, beat the egg yolks and powdered sugar. Add the melted butter and water, then beat again for 2 minutes until well mixed. Then, stir in the flour until evenly combined.
- Next, gently fold in the egg whites, about 1/3 at a time, until all the egg whites are blended in.
- Into the prepared pan, transfer the batter. Bake at 325 degrees F for 40 to 60 minutes until the center of the cake is barely jiggly. Cover the top of the cake with aluminum foil if it begins to brown quickly.
- Before dusting with powdered sugar, allow the cake to cool first.
