Step-by-Step Instructions for Vanilla Magic Custard Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the egg yolks and powdered sugar, beating on medium speed until pale yellow and creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Sift in the all-purpose flour, and mix just until combined. Then add the milk and melted unsalted butter, mixing smoothly.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula until just combined, leaving some lumps.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown on top and the center has a slight jiggle.
  7. Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate for a couple of hours before slicing.
