Vanilla Magic Custard Cake

 

Hey Vanilla Cake lovers!  Here’s a wonderful dessert that will make you swoon with each lovely, vanilla bite! The cake I’m raving about is Very Vanilla Magic Custard Cake. It is creamy, yet cake-like and it literally makes your taste-buds do the happy dance and sing.

I think some kind of supernatural forces come together while this dessert bakes to transform it to separate into three layers of heaven.  Or as some say, Baking Science.

The top layer is a soft cake like an eclair or angel cake texture, followed by a creamy custard layer that sits on a firm gelatin-like layer.  Ta-daaa!!  Now that’s some heavenly MAGIC!

It’s incredible!  If you’ve never tried a magic cake, don’t wait any longer.  Really!

Ingredients
 

• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 Tablespoon water
• 2 cups milk-lukewarm
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter-melted and slightly cooled
• powdered sugar for dusting
• 1 cup (115g) flour
• 1 and 1/4 cups (150 g) powdered sugar
• 4 eggs-separated

Instructions
 
Number One, Preheat the oven to 325°F
Number Two, Lightly grease 8×8 inch baking dish, set aside
Number Three, Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, set aside.
Number Four, Beat the egg yolks and powdered sugar until pale yellow.
Number Five, Mix in melted butter and the tablespoon of water (for about 2 minutes) until evenly combined.
Number Six, Mix in the flour until evenly incorporated.
Number Seven, Slowly beat in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
Number Eight, Fold in the egg whites (1/3 at a time, then repeat until all of the egg whites are folded in).
Number Nine, Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40-60 minutes (until the cake is barely jiggly in the center). Baking time might vary depending on your oven or pan you use, but start checking after 40 minutes. If the top browns too quick before the minimum of 40 minutes, you can cover the cake with aluminum foil.
Number Ten, Cool the cake completely before dusting with powdered sugar. Even cooled, it will be slightly jiggly because it has custard layer in the center.
