Ingredients
To make this magic custard cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:
4 eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: You can also add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
Step-by-Step Instruction
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a square baking dish.
In a large bowl, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until well combined.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture and mix well.
Sift the flour and salt into the egg yolk mixture and mix until smooth.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
Pro tip: To achieve the perfect texture, make sure not to overmix the batter when folding in the egg whites. A gentle hand is key to preserving the airiness of the cake.
Expert Tips for Success
Here are a few tips to ensure your magic custard cake turns out perfectly:
Use room temperature eggs for easier separation and better incorporation into the batter.
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
Mix the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture gradually to prevent curdling.
For a stronger vanilla flavor, you can scrape the seeds from a vanilla bean instead of using vanilla extract.
Be patient when folding in the egg whites. It’s better to take your time and maintain the airiness of the batter.
Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to ensure clean and neat cuts.
