This cake is the definition of minimum effort, high reward. The most that you will have to do is separate the egg yolks and whites. Not there are many tricks to make this process easier, however, we like to keep it simple. Crack the egg gently open and start passing the yolk either from hand to hand or one half of the shell to the other. As the yolk is being passed from side to side, the egg white will drip down into a bowl.

Chef’s Tip

When egg yolks come into contact with sugar, the sugar starts sucking the water from the egg yolks. This is called “hygroscopic”, and basically begins to “cook” the surface of the yolks. As a result, patches of hard yolk will begin to form which will not mix in with the rest of the custard cake mix. Thus, when you are ready to mix these two ingredients, don’t let them sit before starting to mix them. 

What’s a custard cake without custard?

Luckily, we like to keep it simple when it comes to custard too. That’s why we love custard powder! After you have made the custard mixture, let it cool in the fridge. And remember to still stir the mixture occasionally so that the consistency is perfect for spreading it in between layers and on top of the cake.
