Instructions: How to make custard cake recipe at home
1. Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. Making the Custard Layer:
- In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it's warm (do not boil).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture while continuously whisking.
- Set aside the prepared custard mixture.
3. Preparing the Cake Batter:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
4. Assembling the Cake:
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Gently pour the custard mixture over the cake batter. The custard layer will sink to the bottom during baking.
5. Baking:
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the cake layer comes out clean.
6. Cooling and Serving:
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
- Once cooled, slice the custard cake into squares or rectangles and serve.
