Oh, Oh, It’s Magic….Cake!

I’m not ashamed to admit that the first time I made this cake, it didn’t separate into the glorious looking dessert that I expected. Chances are I simply over-stirred not thinking it would make that much of a difference. If this is something that you encounter, don’t get discouraged. No matter what the cake comes out looking like, it’s still going to taste fabulous. Just because it doesn’t look good doesn’t mean it’s not going to taste great. Give it a try! Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Recipe Lion:

“This recipe is surprisingly simple compared to the way it looks. The list of ingredients is so small that I think I already have all the ingredients on hand anyway.”

When you have to whip up a dessert last minute, this is the perfect solution. Check your pantry and you’re probably stocked and ready to go!

 

Ingredients

4 eggs, separated, at room temperature

4 drops lemon juice or white vinegar (optional)

1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons (5.3 oz; 150 g) Domino sugar

1 Tbsp water

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 stick + 2 tsp Land O’ Lakes butter, melted (125 g)

3/4 cup (4 oz; 115 g) Gold Medal flour

2 cups milk, lukewarm (500 ml)

 

Instructions

Mix egg whites until stiff. You can add 4 drops of lemon juice or white vinegar to stabilize the egg whites.

 

In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar, water and vanilla until light. Add melted butter and continue beating for another minute. Then add the flour and mix it in.

 

Add the milk (it has to be lukewarm, otherwise the butter will harden) and beat until well incorporated.

 

Gently fold in beaten egg whites using a spatula or a spoon. Do not use mixer for this step because it will ruin the air bubbles trapped in beaten egg whites.
Do not fully incorporate batter and egg whites. There should still be some little “clouds” of egg whites floating on top of the batter.

 

Pour batter into a greased and floured 8 inch x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) square or 8 inch (20 cm) round baking dish (do not use spring form because batter is too liquid and the pan could leak) and bake in preheated 325 F (160 C) oven for about 60 minutes or until the top is golden and cake is still soft, but not jiggly any more.

If the top starts browning too quickly (after about 30 minutes of baking), cover the cake with aluminum foil.

 

Cool in the pan for at least 3 hours. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar.
