"Magic Cake is one of my favorites and this was the first one that I tried. I made it for Thanksgiving a few years ago, and it was enjoyed very much by my family. We liked it so much in fact, that I went on a search for other kinds of Magic Cakes to make, and found a whole bunch that I just love, so I decided I better post them here to share with everyone and see what you think! This particular Magic Cake is more like 2 layers instead of 3 layers, like the others I make, but none-the-less it is just as delicious! PLEASE NOTE: You can refrigerate for up to 5 days. You can double this recipe to make a 9x13 inch pan, and just adjust the cooking time."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Step 2

Butter an 8x8 inch cake pan.

Step 3

Melt butter, and set aside.

Step 4

Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks.

Step 5

Beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and light, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Mix in the melted butter and water, and combine.

Step 7

Add flour, mixing well to break down any lumps.

Step 8

Beat in the milk and vanilla.

Step 9

Add the pumpkin and pumpkin spice, and whisk until smooth.

Step 10

Slowly add the egg whites half at a time, whisking gently until smooth.

Step 11

Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Step 12

Set the pan on a baking tray, and bake for about 45-50 minutes.

Step 13

The top will still be a little jiggly but will set upon cooling.

Step 14

Cool completely before slicing into squares.

Step 15

Dust with some more confectionary sugar, before serving.

Note: The cake will slice better after being in the refrigerator. It is also best served at room temperature. (That's what the recipe says, but I like mine better cold, out of the refrigerator. I omit the confectionary sugar on top, and instead add a dollop of whipped cream on mine)

Great dessert for Thanksgiving. We loved this delicious 2 layered custard cake, especially the custard layer! I used my 9x13 pan so I doubled the recipe. Had to cook a little longer, but that was to be expected.
