Very Vanilla Magic Custard Cake

It is creamy, yet cake-like and it literally makes your taste-buds do the happy dance and sing. I think some kind of supernatural forces come together while this dessert bakes to transform it to separate into three layers of heaven. Or as some say, Baking Science.

The top layer is a soft cake like an eclair or angel cake texture, followed by a creamy custard layer that sits on a firm gelatin-like layer. Ta-daaa!! Now that’s some heavenly MAGIC! It’s incredible! If you’ve never tried a magic cake, don’t wait any longer. Really!

Ingredients :

Cooking spray

• 4 large egg yolks
• 4 large egg whites , at room temperature
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons ice cold water
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
• 2 cups whole milk , half-and-half, or heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon Singing Dog Vanilla Extract or Singing Dog Vanilla Bean Paste
• Optional: Powdered sugar , fruit

Instructions :

1. Coat an 8-inch square pan that is 2 inches deep with cooking spray.
2. Cut 2 (8- by 12- to 16-inch) sheets of parchment paper. Lay one sheet in the pan, leaving an overhang of at least 2 inches on each side.
3. Lay the second piece on top, across the first, leaving an overhang on the other sides. These will be your "handles" when you take the cake out of the pan; set aside.
4. Heat the oven: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 325°F.
5. Mix the yolk, sugar, and water until pale and fluffy using a mixer and until the sugar is dissolved, very fluffy, light in texture, and the mixture is a very pale whitish-yellow, 5 to 6 minutes. Do not undermix.
