Magic Custard Cake

Look very closely, and you will see three delightfully creamy layers of heaven in this magic custard cake. A fluffy sponge cake top layer sits on top of a soft custard middle layer with a denser custard base for the bottom layer, all made with one simple batter that you pour in a pan and pop into the oven – pure magic!

Ingredients
4 large eggs separated, at room temperature
1 cup baker’s sugar superfine sugar
½ cup salted butter melted and cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole milk lukewarm
½ cup heavy cream lukewarm

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter an 8”x8” square baking pan.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the melted and cooled butter and vanilla extract and beat to combine fully.
Beat in the flour.
Combine the milk and cream together and slowly pour into the batter, mixing to combine.
Beat egg whites in a standing mixer with the whisk attachment until stiff peaks form.
Use a large whisk to lightly incorporate egg whites into the batter. Add in 2 to 3 additions and only whisk slightly. The batter will have two distinct textures – a very thin, runny batter with the lightly incorporated egg whites floating on the top of the batter.
Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake for approximately 40 to 45 minutes. The cake is done when the center is still jiggly, but the batter does not slosh in the pan. The top will be lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
Allow the cake to sit for 2 to 3 hours before dusting with powdered sugar and cutting into 9 pieces. It is best to remove the pieces from the pan one at a time rather than trying to remove the entire cake at once.
Notes
While we would suggest only removing one piece at a time from the pan, if for some reason you do want to remove the entire cake at once, lining the pan with parchment paper may help to lift the cake out of the pan. We can’t guarantee that you won’t get a bit of custard that will try to ooze out the side of the cake.
