Ultimate Magic Custard Cake Recipe – Light, Dreamy, & Layered

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs (room temperature, separated)
• 1 cup (200g) sugar
• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
• 2 cups (500 ml) lukewarm milk
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven
   Set oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease a baking dish.
2. Whip egg whites
   Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3. Mix egg yolks & sugar
   In another bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy.
4. Add butter & vanilla
   Mix in melted butter and vanilla extract.
5. Add flour
   Stir in flour until smooth.
6. Pour in milk
   Gradually add lukewarm milk. The batter will be very thin—this is normal!
7. Fold egg whites
   Gently fold the egg whites into the batter. Don’t fully combine—lumps are okay.
8. Bake
   Pour into the dish and bake for 50–60 minutes until the top is golden brown.
9. Cool completely
   Let it cool before slicing so the layers set properly.
10. Serve
    Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!
