If you like coffee then I'm sure you’ll love this version of the Magic Cake! Just like the others it has three distinct layers: a layer of fluffy cake, a layer of creamy custard and a layer of dense moist cake.

4 eggs, separated

150g/ ¾ cup sugar

125g/ ½ cup butter, melted

115g/ ¾ cup flour
500ml/2 cups milk, lukewarm

20g instant coffee

Preheat oven to 160ºC/325ºF. Grease an 8in x 8in/20cm x 20cm baking pan. Place  ⅓ of the milk into a saucepan and heat. Add coffee and mix until completely dissolved. Remove from heat and add remaining milk. It should be lukewarm, if not set aside to cool. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in butter. Sift flour and add to the egg mixture until fully incorporated. Slowly add milk with coffee beating until well mixed together. The batter will be very liquid. Beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually fold egg whites into the mixture. Batter should be lumpy. Pour batter into baking dish and bake for 35 minutes until lightly golden. Skewer should come out clean, if not, leave another 5 minutes. Let cool completely before turning out onto a serving plate.
