Combining simple ingredients like eggs, sugar, flour, butter, milk, and a touch of sugar, this cake is bound to impress your family and friends with minimal effort.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks, placing them in separate bowls.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks together with the powdered sugar until the mixture becomes thick and pale in color.
- Melt the butter either in a microwave-safe bowl or over a stovetop. Let it cool slightly before adding to the yolk mixture.
- Gradually add the melted butter into the yolk mixture while continuing to whisk.
- Pour in the milk slowly and whisk until smooth.
- Sift the flour into the mixture and gently fold it in until you have a smooth batter.
- Using a clean bowl and beaters, whip the egg whites until they begin to form soft peaks.
- Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter in three additions. Fold carefully to maintain as much air as possible in the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs. The cake will have three distinct layers.
- Allow the cake to cool in the dish. Once it’s completely cooled, refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to help set the layers more firmly.
- Before serving, cut the cake into squares. Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired.
Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting to achieve a smooth batter.
- When separating the egg whites and yolks, ensure no yolk mixes with the whites to ensure they whip up correctly.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter to maintain the light airy texture.
- Bake the cake in a water bath to ensure even cooking and to prevent the cake from cracking.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to ensure the layers set up properly.
- For an extra touch, dust the finished cake with cocoa powder or powdered sugar before serving.
Chocolate Magic Cake is a wonderfully impressive dessert that offers a captivating dining experience. With its unique three-layer texture and rich chocolate flavor, it is sure to become a favorite.
