Gâteau Magique

A magical three-layer cake that creates its own texture during baking. Simple yet impressive!

The batter will be very liquid, like crepe batter with lumps. The cake should still “jiggle” slightly when taken out of the oven.

Ingredients

  • 150g sugar

  • 125g butter

  • 110g flour

  • 50cl milk

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 bag vanilla sugar

Directions

  • Incorporate the melted butter into the yolk mixture

  • Add the flour and salt and mix well

  • Gradually pour in the milk while whisking

  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form

  • {“Gently fold the whites into the batter (Note”=>”do not over-mix; small lumps of egg white should remain on the surface)”}
