Gâteau magique
Gâteau magique, also known as magic cake is a unique cake with a single batter that separates into three distinct layers during baking: a fluffy cake layer on top, a creamy custard layer in the middle, and a dense fudge-like layer at the bottom.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs separated
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick) melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch salt
- powdered sugar for dusting optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a round cake pan and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until creamy and pale yellow.
- Gradually add the melted butter to the egg yolk mixture, and continue to mix until well combined.
- Gently fold in the flour, making sure there are no lumps.
- Slowly pour in the milk and vanilla extract, and stir until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
- Carefully fold in the beaten egg whites into the batter, taking care not to overmix and deflate the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the greased cake pan, and smooth out the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, transfer the cake to a serving plate and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set properly.
- Optionally, you can dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Slice and serve. Enjoy!
