Method

    For the Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 160°C. Lightly grease 20×20 cm baking dish and set aside.

  • Gently fold in egg whites in batches until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the dish and bake for 40–60 minutes until the centre is slightly jiggly (check at 40 minutes; cover with foil if browning too fast).
  • Cool completely.

  • For the Custard Swirl:

  • In a saucepan, heat milk over medium heat until just steaming (not boiling).
  • In a bowl, whisk sugar, cornstarch and egg yolks until smooth and pale.
  • Slowly pour warm milk into yolk mixture while whisking constantly.
  • Return the mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring until thick.
  • Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Cool slightly.

  • Assemble:

  • Spoon the custard over the cooled cake in dollops.
  • Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl custard across the surface.
  • Dust lightly with powdered sugar.
