Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups lukewarm milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Beat the egg yolks, sugar, and water until light and fluffy.
  3. Slowly add the melted butter and mix well. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually sift in the flour and salt, mixing until fully incorporated.
  5. Slowly pour in the lukewarm milk, whisking continuously until smooth.

Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites

  1. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  2. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, careful not to overmix. The batter will be runny, but that’s normal!

Step 3: Bake the Cake

  1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  2. Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours for the layers to set.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
  • Slice and enjoy the magic of three layers in one bite!

This cake is best enjoyed chilled and pairs beautifully with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. 🍰✨
