Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk, lukewarm
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature (separated)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Add melted butter and vanilla, mixing well.
- Gradually sift in the flour and salt, stirring until just combined.
- Slowly add the lukewarm milk, whisking constantly to form a thin batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold them into the batter, leaving some lumps for texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly firm.
- Let the cake cool completely before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Ensure that the egg whites are beaten to stiff peaks for the best texture.
- Letting the cake cool completely is crucial for the layers to set properly.
- Feel free to add fruit or other toppings for added flavor.
