Magic Custard Cake

A surprise and a delight all in one!

4 EGGS – separated1 TSP VANILLA or LEMON EXTRACT
¾ CUP SUGAR8 TB (1 stick) BUTTER – melted
¾ CUP FLOUR2 CUPS MILK – room temperature
POWDERED SUGAR – for dusting 
 

PREHEAT OVEN TO 325º

Grease an 8X8-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper.

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

Beat the yolks, adding the sugar a little at a time while continuing to beat, until light and airy.  Add butter and extract of your choice and beat for an additional 2 minutes.  Slowly add the flour and mix it in until fully incorporated.

Slowly start adding the milk and beat until all is well combined. Add the egg whites 1/3 at a time and gently fold them in with a spatula.  Repeat until all the egg white have been folded in.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 50-60 minutes. However, I suggest checking at 30 minutes and if getting too brown, cover loosely with foil. Bake until the top is a nice golden brown.
