Magic cake – one dough, three layers

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 125 g butter
• 500 ml milk
• 4 eggs
• 1 pinch of salt
• 120 g powdered sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 1 tbsp water
• 120 g flour
• Butter for the mold
• Powdered sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

Preheat the oven to 160°C (top/bottom heat) or 140°C (fan). Grease a heavy-gauge cake tin well. Melt the butter. Heat the milk to lukewarm in a separate saucepan. Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt and set aside. Combine the egg yolks, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, butter, water, and flour. Add the milk and mix briefly. Carefully fold in the egg whites very briefly. A few flakes of egg white should remain. The batter will be very runny. Pour the batter into the cake tin (the main thing is to avoid leaks). Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes. Cover the cake for the last 10-15 minutes to prevent it from overcooking. Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the tin, then sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
