Magic Custard Cake

                                                                                                    Week 29 (Save $29)

A super easy custard cake made with 6 simple ingredients! I was concerned with the liquidity batter but it bakes up to a wonderful custard texture.  

I love anything in a custard form but a Cake !
Ingredients:

4 eggs (whites separated from yolks), room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 cups milk lukewarm
 
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting cake
 

 
Instructions:
 
Preheat oven to 325 F degrees. Grease or Line 8 inch x 8 inch baking dish with parchment.

Separate eggs and add the egg whites to a mixer and beat egg whites stiff. Place egg whites in a bowl and set aside.

Beat the egg yolks & sugar until light. Add butter and vanilla.  Beat for two minutes. 

Add the flour and mix it in until fully incorporated.

Slowly start adding the milk and beat until everything is well mixed together.

Add the egg whites, a third at a time and gently fold them in using a spatula, repeat until all egg whites are folded in.  

Pour batter into baking dish and bake for approx. 60 minutes or until the top is lightly golden. 

Cool and dust heavily with powdered sugar.


Tested twice and it was delicious!

Enjoy !!

  1. I am not a baker, and this cake still turned out deliciously, although I prefer it, still warm from the oven
