Custard Cake


Ingredients
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Sugar 1/2 - 3/4 cup
  • Unsalted butter, melted - (110g)
  • Plain flour -1 cup
  • Whole milk - 2 cups
  • 1 orange


Recipe
  • Preheat an oven to 160°c/320 f. 
  • Line a deep square baking tray (20cmx20cm) with baking paper. 
  • Separate the eggs and whisk the whites to a stiff peak with a tiny drop of lemon juice. 
  • Beat the egg yolks with the vanilla, sugar and 1 tablespoon of warm water for a couple of minutes… you’re best off using a hand mixer. 
  • Beat in the melted butter and zest of the orange. 
  • Mix in the flour and only  then stir through the milk. 
  • Fold in the egg whites (in two batches), until evenly combined. Use light hand whisking.
  • Pour the batter into the baking tin and cook for 50-60 minutes until the top is golden and puffed and the middle is set but with a generous wobble. 
  • Allow to cool completely (at least 3-4 hours) before slicing into the cake.
