A recipe from Magic Vanilla Cake easy to prepare, which magically gives you 3 different textures when cooked! I chose to flavor mine with pods from Reunion Island, a delight ...
In terms of textures, as I told you, there are 3 levels : a base that looks a bit like a flan, then a very central texture creamy, and finally a génoise which is the most "cake" part at the top.
How to make a magical vanilla cake?
This vanilla cake is prepared in only one container : it is the cooking step that will allow him to create these 3 surprising textures.
On the one hand, we whip the egg whites. On the other, we mix the yolks and sugar. Then, we add the melted butter and the seeds of the vanilla bean.
We then incorporate the sifted flour little by little and the lukewarm milk and water. The dough at this point resembles that of a pancake dough i.e. very liquid. We finish by adding the egg whites, breaking them roughly.
The mixture is poured into a round mold then go to the oven!
NB: for an even more pronounced vanilla flavor, you can infuse the pod and grains for 30 minutes in lukewarm milk. As a replacement for vanilla, you can use other flavors such as chocolate or almond ...
How to serve and store the magic cake?
Once cooked, I strongly advise you to place it in the fridge : this will allow the magic vanilla cake to take on its full consistency, and it will taste better too! This will also make it easier to cut it.
At the time of service, you can accompany it with a small Red fruit coulis, or a chocolate sauce for the sweet tooth.
It keeps in the fridge ideally in a bell, for 3 or 4 days. You can take it out about 15 minutes before tasting for better flavors.

Magic Island Vanilla Cake
Ingredients:
- 4 egg whites
- 1 pinch of salt
- 4 egg yolks
- 150 g powdered sugar
- 125 g soft butter
- 1 vanilla pod
- 120 g of flour
- 500 ml lukewarm milk
- 1 tbsp of water
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 160 ° C traditional heat. Whip the egg whites until stiff with a pinch of salt, then set aside. Whisk the egg yolks with the powdered sugar until a foamy mixture is obtained. Incorporate the melted unsalted butter (not hot, just lukewarm).
- Scrape the seeds from a vanilla bean and add them to the dough. Sift the flour and gradually incorporate it into the dough. Finally add the lukewarm milk and water. The dough becomes very liquid but this is normal.
- Last step: pour the whisked egg whites into the dough, breaking them roughly using a whisk. Pour everything into a 20cm round buttered and floured mold (the snowy whites will rise to the surface). Bake for 55 minutes (cover during cooking if it browns too quickly).
- Do not consume immediately, let cool and refrigerate before unmolding (run a blade along the walls to facilitate the operation). Enjoy!

Bonsoir
It looks super good ...
I would nevertheless have a question… when we incorporate the snow whites roughly… do they have to disappear in the liquid preparation or do we put them, we mix quickly and we leave pieces of snow floating there? It's a bit confusing sorry. .. thank you
JulieP
It is very beautiful your magic cake! The 3 layers are clearly visible :)

Hi ! I tested this cake and in fact it worked except for the layer of sponge cake which just barely developed, we hardly see it… You know what it is?
Lilie bakery
Hello, as I explained to a previous comment, this means that you broke your egg whites too much, suddenly, they did not clump together enough to form the sponge cake… @ soon
Ines
I do not understand I have yet followed all the steps! but it deflates when it comes out of the oven! really not pretty :-(
Lilie bakery
Hello Inès, we do not all have the same oven… This is the reason why you have to adapt to your own equipment. I think that the deflating of the cake means that it was not cooked enough, it is necessary to add a few minutes of cooking. @ soon

Recipe tested and approved by everyone! Thanks Lillie

bsoir a quick question for the magical vanilla cake! can we use a silicone mold or is it better to use a clay mold? thanks in advance
Lilie bakery
Hello, so I am a metal mold, the indicated cooking time is perfect for me. For another type of mold, such as silicone, the cooking time may differ slightly. @ soon
Lorène
Hello,
I succeeded with your magic cake !! :-)
It's just not as bloated as yours, but it's good. I have my 3 layers and the egg whites become crispy when cooked.
Thanks again for your recipes. Your explanations are perfect.
My next one might be a cheesecake :-).
See you soon kisses.
Lilie bakery
Thank you Lorène for your message! @soon
Manon
Really at the top this magic cake, thank you Lilie for your great recipes !!
Indeed, it is unmistakable and so good ...
I made it in a cake tin and the proportions were perfect, the only thing I changed was that I infused my vanilla in the milk and it was perfect!
Bravo for your blog see you soon !! :)
Lilie bakery
Hello Manon and thank you for your message, good idea for the vanilla infusion, @ soon
Cynthia
Simple, quick and effective cake :) I just added lime zest and rum instead of water;)
Miriam
Hello Lilie,
I just came across your recipe! I was also looking for a good recipe to make the magic cake.
I have a question: can the vanilla bean be replaced by liquid vanilla extract?
Goods.
Lilie bakery
Hello Miriam, yes no problem! @ soon
lyly

Lilie bakery
Hello, I don't like to use silicone in general, I don't really recommend… See you soon @
nina
Hello, I wanted to know if I can do this in a 20cm silicone mold?
Lilie bakery
Hello Nina, you can try but I don't like cooking with silicone, @ soon
Julie

Caroline
A pure treat ... Super success
The hardest part is waiting for it to cool down;)
Thank you for this "delicious" recipe
Lilie bakery
Thank you Caroline :)
Justine
Hello, I'm about to bake your cake but I also have some raspberries left in the fridge, do you think I can add them to the bottom of the mold or will it screw everything up? ;) thank you in advance!
Lilie bakery
Hello, it's possible, they should stay in the bottom when cooking;)
Nadia
Hello I just tested the recipe.
No problem on realization but when I put it in the oven there, the dough came out of a mold.
So a piece of advice is so liquid that it uses a one-piece mold not the molds or the bottom pulls out (which I used).
We will see the result when it comes out of the oven.
In any case, your site is great ☺

It's delicious! Definitely between yesterday's double chocolate muffins and this cake today, I am delighted with the results! Made in a larger mold my layers were thinner but we had a great time, great ☺️
