It does not get much easier than this. The one bowl wonder, cake!
Very impressive in presentation, but oh so easy!
This recipe comes from Tasting Table, although there seem to be many other
recipes and blogs that have similar recipes, with possibly just one or two
variations.
This was so easy I now want to try some of the other types of Magic Cake.
Possibly chocolate, and adding alternate sides like raspberry or stewed fruits or
sautéed apples.
Think of all the delicious combinations of things that go with vanilla.
One really important tip for this recipe is to line your pan with parchment paper.
It makes removing the cake so much easier. No flipping the cake, just lift it
right out once cooled. Slice with a sharp knife and dust with
Confectioners sugar.
As Always,
ENJOY!
SERVES
8
INGREDIENTS
- 2 vanilla pods
- 500ml milk
- 4 eggs, separated
- 150g caster sugar
- 1 sachet vanilla sugar or 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp water
- 125g butter
- 110g plain flour
- pinch of salt
METHOD
Split the vanilla pods down the middle and scrape out the seeds with the blade of a knife.
Heat the milk with the vanilla seeds and the open pods. Bring to the boil, then immediately remove from the heat and leave to infuse for at least 1 hour. The more infused the vanilla, the more intense the taste.
Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/gas mark 2.
Whisk the yolks with the sugar and water until the mixture whitens. Melt the butter and stir it into the mixture. Fold in the flour and salt and beat for a few minutes until well combined.
Remove the vanilla pods from the milk. Pour it into the batter little by little, whisking constantly.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and, using a whisk, gently incorporate them into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared tin, smooth the surface with the blade of a knife and bake in the oven for 50 minutes. When the cake comes out of the oven it will wobble slightly.
Before turning it out, leave it to set in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Serve chilled.
