Even Easier Than Saying, “Bippity Boppity Boo”!

Who would’ve thought making a delicious dessert could be this simple? You’ll only need seven ingredients, a basic mixer, an 8″ x 8″ baking pan, some parchment paper, and a sugar shaker to bake this delicious Magic Custard Cake from scratch. And you get to have the taste of custard and cake in one rather easy-to-make dessert. The holiday season is here, and we’re all getting ready to prepare great meals for our family. The last thing you need is a dessert that takes two hours to put together! Well, this recipe is proof possible that “from scratch” doesn’t always equal “difficult,” and “simple” doesn’t always equal “blah” or “ho-hum.”

As a lover of both cakes and custards, I thoroughly enjoyed baking and sampling something that is such an excellent blend of both. This cake really does melt in your mouth. It’s moist and creamy and doesn’t leave you feeling unsatisfied.

If you’re in need of a great dessert experience I highly recommend eating this cake. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

For something so easy to make, this cake does have a nice blend of textures and a creamy vanilla flavor that is, well, magical. From start to finish is just five basic steps, and baking time is roughly an hour. I mean, seriously, who doesn’t have an hour to whip up something truly magical like thus cake? Even if this cake took me ten hours to make I think I’d still be partial to whipping one up because the flavors are out of this world! This recipe is something that you hide in your recipe box and guard with your life. It’s seriously that good, folks!

This recipe has been a great hit over at Hugs & Cookies xoxo! Let’s take a look at what some of the readers have said about it:

I made this Magic Custard Cake it came out great. I served it with strawberries and whip cream on top. Everyone loved it and it was so easy to make. I used 2% milk and it was fine.

I made this with maple sausage for my husband only I added whopped eggs with the rest it was savory and he loved it for breakfast!

Who would ever have thought that you could eat cake for breakfast? I’ll gladly give this little confection to my kids and husband in the morning because it’s good for them 🙂

Ingredients

4 eggs (whites separated from yolks), room temp
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup sugar
8 Tablespoons butter, melted (I used Land O’Lakes unsalted butter)
3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 cups milk lukewarm
powdered sugar for dusting cake

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 F degrees. Grease and line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with parchment.

Separate eggs and add the egg whites to a mixer and beat the egg whites stiff. Place egg whites in a bowl and set aside.

Beat the yolks & sugar until light. Add butter and vanilla. Beat for two minutes. Add flour and mix it in until fully incorporated.

Slowly start adding the milk and beat until everything is well mixed together. Add the egg whites, one third at a time and gently fold them in using a spatula, repeat until all egg whites are folded in.

Pour batter into baking dish and bake for approx 60 minutes or until the top is lightly golden. Cool and dust heavily with powdered sugar.
