✨ Magic Custard Cake: One Batter, Three Layers of Deliciousness
Imagine a dessert so simple, yet so magical, that it separates into three distinct layers — a fluffy sponge top, a creamy custard center, and a soft, dense bottom — all from just one batter.
This dreamy European-inspired dessert lives up to its name. With basic ingredients and a little baking alchemy, this cake delivers a layered experience that’s light, luscious, and utterly irresistible.
🪄 Why Is It Called Magic Custard Cake?
Because it magically separates into three layers while baking! Here’s how:
- The top layer rises into a light, sponge-like cake.
- The middle layer stays soft and custardy, like a silky flan.
- The bottom layer forms a denser, cake-like base.
The real magic? It’s all done with one simple batter — no layering required.
