Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 4 large eggs (separate yolks from whites, at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk (lukewarm)
  • Confectionary sugar, for dusting cake
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

  • Step 2: Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.

  • Step 3: Separate eggs, and add the egg whites to a mixer, and mix until egg whites are stiff.

  • Step 4: Place egg yolks in a bowl, and set aside.

  • Step 5: Beat the egg yolks with the sugar, until light.

  • Step 6: Add butter and vanilla, and continue beating for another 1-2 minutes, then add the flour, and mix it in until fully incorporated.

  • Step 7: Slowly start adding the milk, and beat until everything is well mixed together. Add the egg whites, a third at a time, and gently fold them in using a spatula. Repeat until all egg whites are folded in. (Another variation to folding in the egg whites would be to add a third of the egg whites, and gently whisk them in to the cake batter, then reverse the process, and add a bit of the cake mixture to the egg whites and gently whisk in. Repeat until all cake batter has been whisked in.

  • Step 8: Pour the batter in the prepared baking dish, and bake for roughly 60 minutes or until done (All ovens are different, so start checking at 40 minutes and keep checking until done).

  • Step 9: The cake will still jiggle in the middle when you take it out, so that's normal. Let it cool completely, then sprinkle with confectionary sugar. Cut into squares and serve (I like to refrigerate mine before eating, then top with whipped cream at serving time. I don't sprinkle it with confectionary sugar when using the whipped cream).
