Viral trend alert: The 3-layer “magic” custard cake anyone can make
And the best part is you probably already have all the ingredients in your pantry!
We all have Jo Cooks (and Instagram) to thank for the sweet, eggy baked discovery of this trending three-layered custard cake that’s as easy to make as it is pantry-friendly.

All it takes is eggs, sugar, butter, vanilla extract, flour and milk – but it manages to hit the texture trifecta with a crunchy golden-brown top then a soft custard layer atop a set custard base. Give it a dusting of icing sugar and you’ve created magic!
Aside from being patient (it takes quite a long baking time to get the desired effect), there aren’t too many tricks to this magic cake. It’s fairly simple and less effort is key – all you have to do is make sure you don’t overdo it when you fold the egg whites in. A lumpy egg-white-dotted batter is how the crunchy top layer is created.
