5. Add Butter and Almond Flavor
Slowly pour in the melted butter while mixing. Then add the almond extract and blend until smooth and fragrant.
6. Incorporate the Flour
Sift the flour into the mixture and stir gently until fully combined. The batter will be thick at this stage.
7. Add Warm Milk Gradually
Slowly pour in the warm milk while whisking continuously. The batter will become very thin—this is exactly what you want.
8. Fold in the Egg Whites
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a spatula. Don’t overmix—small lumps of egg white are perfectly fine and help create the fluffy top layer.
9. Bake to Perfection
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly firm.
The center should still have a slight jiggle—that’s your creamy custard layer!
10. Cool Completely
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. This is crucial, as the layers will fully set during cooling.
11. Serve and Enjoy
Dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing. Serve chilled or at room temperature for the best texture.
