Magic Cake
Ingredients:
4 eggs (separate yolks from whites) at room temperature
1 t. vanilla extract
¾ c. sugar
½ c. butter, melted
¾ c. all-purpose flour
2 c. milk, lukewarm
Confectioners’ sugar for dusting cake
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8 x 8 inch baking dish.
Separate eggs. In a small bowl, beat egg whites until they are stiff. Set
aside.
Beat egg yolks with sugar until light. Add butter and vanilla extract; beat
two minutes. Add flour and mix until fully incorporated. Slowly add milk and beat until well mixed. Add egg whites, a third at a
time and gently fold them in using a spatula, repeat until all egg whites are
folded in. Batter will be very loose. Pour batter into baking dish and bake for 40 minutes until the top is
lightly golden. Cool completely; Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.
The yolks rolled down the sugar and got coated with it. I love the way they look
This is not really a cake. It's a thin crust with a custard filling and a cooked meringue top. It's very good.
The recipe comes from a link in this blog. The blog is for the chocolate version, but Dave gave up chocolate for Lent. So, I made the original version. This is VERY easy to make and is special!
