I finally did it.

I made the Magic Cake. And I ate it.

And I almost ate all of it.

Had to stop myself since I was taking it to a friends’ for a potluck. Not to mention it was a hit with everyone and even the kids gave it a thumbs up. I’ve been drooling at the pics on the web for many many months and being a big custard lover I’ve always wanted to make this.

I have to warn you though.Its addictive.

Highly addictive.

Magic Cake 2

The magical layers that hit you as you take a bite.First the semi soft layer at the bottom followed by the custard in the  middle followed by the firm and slightly golden top layer.Its an amazing dessert and so super easy!The best part is that it only requires one simple batter and the magic happens once its in the oven.The three layers form as the cake bakes on a low temperature setting beautifully.Once cooled cut in into desired squares and enjoy this indulgent treat to your heart’s content.I followed this recipe from Jo Cooks and it turned out just perfect!

    I don’t know if you or someone else copied your recipe onto Yummly, but maybe you can edit it there. The Yummly version has chicken fingers, red and green chiles, garam masala, cumin, and ginger, among other ingredients. 😀
