Magic Custard Cake Recipe (1)

I’m calling it, this Magic Custard Cake really is magic. There were more than a few occasions I almost gave up and tipped the mixture into the bin while I was making this. After looking at all the gorgeous photos of this three layered gooey custard cake online, when I looked at the dodgy cake mixture in front of me, I had no confidence at all that it would actually work out.

The mixture just didn’t look right to me, yet I continuedwith the thought I’d come this far already, I at least had to see what happened when I popped this disasterinto the oven

My few sneaky peeks into the oven thankfully gave me some assurance that cake may just work. After 35 minutes it had developed a lovely golden crust on top and when tested with a skewer it was still a little wobbly in the middle – perfect

Tips for Making this Custard Cake:

  • Your baking time WILL vary depending on the temperature of your ingredients. Some people may find they need to cook their cakes for up to an hour.
  • I cook this cake in a 20cm square baking tin, you can use a different size tin but the cooking time will vary.
  • The mixture will look lumpy and you may be convinced that it won’t work out – keep going as the end result is worth it!

  • When testing to see if your cake is ready, you do want there to be some ‘jiggle’ in the middle still.
  • I try to put my eggs out the night before I’m planning to make this cake to ensure that they are at room temperature.
  • I also heat the milk in a microwave safe jug until it’s just warm.
  • To serve, I prefer to let this cake cool completely in the tin (you can also pop it in the fridge when cool enough to do so) and then dust with icing sugar and cut into pieces.
  • This cake is best stored in an airtight container in your fridge and enjoyed within 3 – 4 days.

Equipment

  • 1 x 20cm square baking dish

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs – room temperature
