Description
A delightful dessert that combines rich vanilla flavors with a unique, custard-like texture, perfect for impressing guests or indulging yourself.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (separated)
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 125 g unsalted butter (melted)
- 115 g all-purpose flour
- 500 ml milk (lukewarm)
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and prepare a lined cake pan.
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and creamy.
- Add the melted butter, water, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
- Incorporate the flour gradually until smooth, then slowly add the lukewarm milk to form a thin batter.
- Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, being careful not to deflate them.
- Pour the batter into the lined pan and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the top is golden and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for best results and allow the cake to cool completely for proper layering.
