One simple batter turns into a 3 layered cake with a top layer of sponge, a middle layer of custard and a fudge-like base. It's like....magic! Adapted from Magic Cake by Jo Cooks. Butter a 8" x 8" / 20cm x 20cm square cake tin (Note 4). Beat egg whites with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Normally magic cake also contains butter and vanilla and sometimes a few other ingredients depending on the recipe. I found that the cake still turned out well without butter or oil. I also was able to achieve a much thicker and fluffier sponge layer by eliminating the butter. And you can add vanilla for more flavor but it is great even without it.
Gently whisk the egg whites into the batter. Bake your cake at 325 F for 45 minutes until the top is golden brown, the sides are pulling away, and the center jiggles slightly. Cool the cake before cutting. Serve your magic cake with whatever toppings you like.
