Magic Cake

20-9-2016

Recently all over the internet: Magic Cake. We spotted it on Instagram, Facebook and even The Telegraph wrote an article about the miraculous recipe that make three cakes in one! The cake is made of the typical cake batter ingredients (sugar, butter, flour, milk and eggs). The egg yolk, flour, milk and butter are prepared separate from the egg whites and combined right before the unique baking process at low temperatures. Creating a three layered Magic Cake. With a spongy top, a custardy middle layer and a moisty cake base. Although we think that these kind of cakes have been made for years we couldn’t resist making one and try it! One word: delicious!  read more
