🟣 Magic Milk Cake – One Batter, Three Layers!

This milk cake is one of those magical recipes that surprise you the moment it comes out of the oven.

Although the batter may look like pancake mix at first, the final result is spectacular: three distinct layers – a firm base, a creamy custard-like center, and a light, sponge-like top.

It’s easy to make and perfect when you have extra eggs in the fridge or you’re simply craving a simple yet impressive dessert!

🟠 Ingredients (for a 28×32 cm / 11×13 inch baking dish):

8 eggs

200 g sugar

250 g butter

2 packets vanilla sugar (16 g total)

A pinch of salt

200 g all-purpose flour

1 liter milk

---

🟢 Instructions:

Prepare the Batter:

Separate the egg whites and yolks into two large bowls.

Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla sugar until creamy and pale.

Add the melted butter, then gradually mix in the flour, stirring well.

Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly until you have a smooth, runny batter.

Whip the Egg Whites:

Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the egg whites into the batter using upward movements. Do not overmix – it’s okay if some foam remains visible. This uneven mix is what creates the layered magic during baking.

Bake the Cake:

Line a 28×32 cm baking tray with parchment paper.

Pour in the batter and smooth the surface gently.

Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for about 45–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and firm to the touch. Baking time may vary by oven.

Cool and Serve:

Let the cake cool completely before slicing.

Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

🍰 Result:

A beautiful, triple-layered cake: a sponge top, silky custard center, and dense base – all from one simple batter. It’s light, creamy, and absolutely magical.
