Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set aside.
-
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
-
In another bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until light and creamy.
-
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture, stirring until well combined.
-
Mix in the flour until smooth.
-
Slowly pour in the lukewarm milk while continuing to mix the batter. Be sure to mix thoroughly to avoid lumps.
-
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until just combined. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is slightly jiggly. The cake will puff up while baking and may crack slightly, which is normal.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
-
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar, if desired, before slicing into squares and serving.
