Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature, separated
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (95g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups (480ml) lukewarm milk
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
    • Grease and line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  • Prepare Egg Yolks Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
    • Add the melted butter and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  • Add Flour and Milk:
    • Gradually sift in the flour, mixing gently until incorporated.
    • Slowly add the lukewarm milk, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth.
  • Whip Egg Whites:
    • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • Combine Mixtures:
    • Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, a third at a time, until just combined.
    • The batter will be thin with some lumps, which is normal.
  • Bake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
    • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly jiggly in the center.
  • Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
    • Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
    • Lift the cake using the parchment overhang, slice into squares, and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are at room temperature for optimal results.
  • Folding in the egg whites gently is crucial to maintain the cake’s structure.
  • For added flavor, consider incorporating citrus zest or a splash of almond extract.
