Discover the wonder of a cake that transforms as it bakes, creating three irresistible layers: a light, fluffy sponge on top, a creamy custard in the middle, and a soft, tender base. Watching it form is almost as delightful as tasting it!
Ingredients
-
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
-
1¼ cups (250g) granulated sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
4 large eggs, separated
-
1 cup (240ml) warm milk
-
½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour
-
Pinch of salt
-
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
3. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients
Sift the flour and salt into the mixture, then gently fold in the warm milk until smooth and homogenous.
4. Whip the Egg Whites
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold them into the batter, preserving as much air as possible to ensure a light and fluffy top layer.
