Ingredients
- 4 eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour, sifted
- 2 cups lukewarm milk
- Powdered sugar for dusting. This wonderful cake consists of three layers with different textures, the bottom part is dense, the middle part is creamy and the top one is spongy. This cake is delicious; no wonder it is popular :)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 8X8 inch baking pan.
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until light. Add the butter and vanilla and continue beating for another minute or two. Add the flour and mix until fully incorporated. Slowly add the milk to the flour mixture and beat until everything is well mixed. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Add the egg whites to the batter, a third at a time, gently whisking it until there are no more big white lumps (little ones are ok), repeat until all egg whites has been whisked in.
Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 40-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown. The baking time may vary depending on the oven, so check on the cake around 40 minutes and see how it looks.
Have you ever made a chocolate version of this? My family is all addicted to chocolate and won’t eat anything else. Will probably try this, but add about half a cup of cocoa powder to it and see how it turns out,
