Ingredients
  

Cake Base
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness and moisture to the cake; you can use salted butter if that's what you have.
  • 1 1/2 cups Milk Adds moisture; almond milk works as a lactose-free option.
  • 4 Eggs Essential for structure; use room-temperature eggs for best incorporation.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Sweetens the cake; granulated sugar can be substituted but may change texture.
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Offers necessary structure; don’t use self-rising flour.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; opt for high-quality extract for best result.
  • 1/4 cup Cold Water Aids in mixing the batter.

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking dish
  • mixing bowls
  • electric mixer
  • spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by greasing with butter and lining with parchment.
  2. Whisk together 4 egg yolks and 1 cup of powdered sugar until pale and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter, then add 1 1/2 cups of lukewarm milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. Gently sift in 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour and fold until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whip 4 egg whites until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter gently, leaving a few lumps.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for about 15 minutes before inverting onto a platter.
