Description
A delightful dessert that magically forms three layers while baking, with a smooth custard on the bottom, a fluffy sponge on top, and a creamy middle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 eggs (separated, room temperature)
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- 125 g melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup plain flour (sifted)
- 2 cups lukewarm milk
- ¼ cup icing sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 340°F (170°C) and line an 8-inch square pan.
- Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks and set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Mix in the melted butter and vanilla extract, then add the sifted flour.
- Slowly pour in the lukewarm milk, stirring until the batter is smooth.
- Gently fold in the whipped egg whites. The batter will be thin and slightly lumpy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 60 minutes until a golden top forms.
- Let the cake cool completely. Dust with icing sugar, slice, and enjoy!
