A delightful cake that magically transforms into three layers: a light sponge, rich custard, and creamy base, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 cups milk, lukewarm

- Beat egg yolks with powdered sugar until pale yellow.
- Mix in the melted butter and water until combined.
- Gently mix in the flour, followed by the lukewarm milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Fold in the whipped egg whites, one-third at a time, being careful not to deflate.
