Magic Cake - Salu Salo Recipes (1)

It has been a year since I started my food blog, a busy and yet fulfilling year for me. Through this blog, I was able to catalog and share my recipes to everyone. I am glad my family and friends are able to use my blog to find and try some recipes. Thanks to my son for helping me keep the blog up and running and also to Jo of Jocooks who was the one who inspired me to start my own food blog. So, to celebrate my first year as a food blogger, I am posting one of her popular recipes, magic cake. The cake was originally written in Spanish and was then translated to English by Jo. This wonderful cake consists of three layers with different textures, the bottom part is dense, the middle part is creamy and the top one is spongy. This cake is delicious; no wonder it is popular 🙂

Serves: 9 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 cups lukewarm milk
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 8X8 inch baking pan.
  2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
  3. In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until light. Add the butter and vanilla and continue beating for another minute or two. Add the flour and mix until fully incorporated. Slowly add the milk to the flour mixture and beat until everything is well mixed. Set aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff. Add the egg whites to the batter, a third at a time, gently whisking it until there are no more big white lumps (little ones are ok), repeat until all egg whites has been whisked in.
  5. Pour the batter into the baking pan and bake for 40-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown. The baking time may vary depending on the oven, so check on the cake around 40 minutes and see how it looks.
  6. Let the cake cool for at least 3 hours (preferably overnight in the fridge) before dusting it with powdered sugar and slicing.
  7. Serve and enjoy!

    Have you come up with any more Magic Cake recipes? I’m still trying to decide whether to make the lemon, the chocolate,or the pumpkin kind!….Maybe a White Chocolate Milk chocolate Version? Please let me know. I’m 100% sure once I make one that I will want to make more ASAP!
    This kind of reminds me of the magic icebox cake my mom made. It was only chocolate wafer cookies & whipped cream but the end result was layers of cake,creamy filling,and complete delicious goodness.

    Have you ever made a chocolate version of this? My family is all addicted to chocolate and won’t eat anything else. Will probably try this, but add about half a cup of cocoa powder to it and see how it turns out,
