Maybe you’ve already heard of this popular Custard Cake, but it was new to me. The ‘magic’ of the cake is that you make only one custard-like batter, which then separates into three layers while it bakes. So you get a cake layer on top, a custard layer in the middle and another dense layer on the bottom. It has a wonderful vanilla/orange flavour and simply melts in the mouth. Absolutely yummy! One of the keys to this recipe is to have all the ingredients at the right temperature. Make sure the eggs are at room temperature, the butter is melted and cooled, and the milk is lukewarm. Also make sure you beat the egg yolk mix well, as well as the egg whites, before you combine the two. I do think that this cake is at its best on the day it’s made. Make it into dessert with a dollop of whipped cream and some mixed berries.
