Magic cake vanilla and lemon - video recipe !
Have you heard about magic cakes ? With only one mix, you will get three different layers : flan, cream and sponge cake. Maybe you think that this recipe is long and difficult, but it's the easiest !
Ingredients
Preparation
Heat the milk with the vanilla pod and brew for 15 minutes at low heat.
Melt the butter
Whisk the egg whites
In a bowl, beat the yolks with sugar until creamy
Add butter and mix
Add the milk gradually
Then add flour and lemon peels
Finally, gently add egg whites with a spatula
Pour the mix in a previously greased cake pan, and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 50 minutes at 300°F
Leave at room temperature for 1 hour, then put it in the fridge for 2 hours before gently unmold it.
It's a very important step since the layers are going to form while cooling.
Sprinkle some icing sugar on top and voilà !
Observations
What makes a magic cake different from regular cakes?
A magic cake creates three distinct layers (flan, cream, and sponge) from a single batter, which is a unique feature not found in traditional cakes.
Can I use other flavors instead of vanilla and lemon?
Yes, you can experiment with different flavors such as chocolate, almond, or orange to create your own version of the magic cake.
Why is it important to let the cake cool before unmolding?
Cooling allows the layers to set properly, ensuring they hold their shape and texture when you unmold the cake.
What is the best way to serve magic cake?
Magic cake is best served chilled, with a dusting of icing sugar on top, and can be paired with fresh fruits or whipped cream for added flavor.
How can I ensure my magic cake layers are distinct?
To achieve distinct layers, be gentle when folding in the egg whites and avoid overmixing, as this helps maintain the separation of the layers during baking.

Nowhere does the recipe tstate the size of the pan. It also shows a pan with removable sides. Surprise! Due to the batter being so thin, it leaks out through the bottom even with parchment paper lining. Don't waste your time or ingredients.
