Ingredients:
4 eggs (whites separated from yolks), room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup sugar
8 tablespoons butter, melted
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups lukewarm milk
Powdered sugar, for dusting
PREPARATION:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Whip Egg Whites: Separate the eggs, placing the whites in a mixer bowl. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Mix Yolks and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. Add melted butter and vanilla extract. Continue beating for 2 minutes.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour to the yolk mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Add Milk: Gradually pour in the lukewarm milk while beating the mixture, ensuring everything is well combined.
Fold in Egg Whites: Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter, one-third at a time, using a spatula. Repeat until all the egg whites are folded in.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for approximately 60 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
Cool and Dust: Let the cake cool completely, then generously dust the top with powdered sugar.
