This almond custard cake stands out for its unique texture. As it bakes, the batter separates naturally into three soft layers:
- A light, airy sponge top
- A creamy custard center
- A slightly firm base
The subtle almond flavor adds a warm, nutty richness that elevates the entire dessert.
Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need:
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
- 1/2 cup (115g) melted butter
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (500ml) warm milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Step-by-Step Method
1. Prepare Your Baking Dish
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Separate the Eggs
Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites into two different bowls. This step is essential for creating the cake’s signature layers.
3. Beat the Egg Whites
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
4. Mix Yolks and Sugar
In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy. This usually takes about 2–3 minutes.
