Ingredients:
- 3 eggs, separated
- 375ml milk
- 90g butter, melted
- 85g flour (T55)
- 1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped
- 1 pinch of salt
- 25g sucralose or 100g coconut sugar
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (302°F). Line a 20cm cake pan with parchment paper.
- Bring the milk and vanilla pod seeds to a boil in a saucepan, then remove from heat and set aside to infuse.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sucralose (or coconut sugar) until creamy. Stir in the melted butter, flour, and a pinch of salt.
- Slowly incorporate the warm vanilla-infused milk into the yolk mixture, stirring continuously.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt or bicarbonate until they form stiff peaks.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, leaving some visible lumps for texture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake for 50 minutes, until the cake is set but still jiggly in the middle.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 8 hours. This resting period is crucial for the textures to fully develop.
- Demould after chilling and serve chilled.
Enjoy this Magical Three-Texture Cake as a testament to the wonders of baking, where simplicity meets sophistication in every layer!
