Magic Cake (Gâteau Magique)

Variations

• Flavor additions: Use almond extract or add lemon or orange zest.

• Toppings: Serve with whipped cream or spread chocolate ganache on top.

• Fruit pairing: Fresh berries or a berry sauce complement the custard layers beautifully.

Storage

Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freezing: Not recommended. Due to its custard-like texture, magic cake does not freeze well.

Baking Tips

• Use a 9-inch square pan with high sides for proper layer formation.

• Don’t underbake—longer is better than shorter.

• The layers become more defined as the cake cools and chills.
