Magic Vanilla Custard Cake

Magic Vanilla Custard Cake – Light, Creamy & Bakes in Layers

This Magic Vanilla Custard Cake is a beautiful dessert that separates into three layers while baking: a fluffy sponge on top, a creamy custard center, and a soft base. With simple ingredients and a rich vanilla flavor, it’s a comforting and elegant treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs, room temperature

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• 1 tbsp water

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour

• 2 cups lukewarm milk

• Powdered sugar, for dusting

‍ Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch square baking dish.

Step 2: Whip the Egg Yolks

1. Separate the eggs. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with sugar, water, and vanilla until pale and thick.

2. Add the melted butter and mix well.

Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients and Milk

1. Sift in the flour and stir until just combined.

2. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking slowly to keep the batter smooth. The mixture will be thin.

Step 4: Beat Egg Whites and Fold

1. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks.

2. Gently fold them into the batter in three additions. Do not overmix — you want some lumps for a light texture.

Step 5: Bake

1. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.

2. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is slightly jiggly.

3. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Step 6: Serve

Dust with powdered sugar and serve chilled. Enjoy the layers!

Tips:

• Warm the milk slightly to help everything blend.

• Use room-temperature eggs for a more stable foam.
