Ingredients
  

  • ⅓ cup All Purpose Flour 40 grams
  • ⅛ cup Unsalted butter 30 ml
  • ⅛ cup Milk 30 ml
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 Large Egg
  • 3 tablespoon Sugar 45 grams

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 150 degree C. Line a 18 cm square cake pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Sieve flour in a bowl.
  • Take butter, milk in a sauce pan and simmer till it gets warm.
  • Add this butter mixture into the flour and mix well. Add in egg yolk, vanilla and mix well till creamy. Set aside.
  • Take egg white in a bowl, beat it using a electric beater till it gets frothy.
  • Slowly add sugar and keep whipping till fluffy and light.
  • Now add in the egg yolk mixture and fold gently.
  • Spoon this into the baking pan.
  • Place this baking pan on a larger baking pan. Pour hot boiling water and bake for 30 to 35 mins.
  • Remove it and cool for 2 mins.
  • Now un mould the pan, unwrap the parchment paper.
  • Slice and serve.

Notes

  1. Whip the egg whites till it is stiff and fluffy. Don't over whip the egg whites else it may get dry.
  2. Combine egg white and egg yolk mixture gently else it may deflate.
  3. Bake in a water bath for slow and steady baking.
  4. Invert the cake immediately so it retains it shape and doesn't carry on cooking.

STORAGE

Store the cake wrapped in a parchment paper for 2 days before slicing. Sliced cake can be served for a week.
