Magic Ginger Cake Recipes

GINGERBREAD CRUNCH MAGIC CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• 2. Grease an 8x8 baking dish (we prefer metal as it heats faster and creates more distinct layers in our testing).
• 3.Beat egg whites in a mixer with whisk attachment to stiff peaks (when lifted whisk out of egg whites the peak formed should stay straight up and not collapse at top). Remove from mixer and set aside.
• 4.Beat yolks with sugar until visibly lightened and fluffy about 4 minutes.
• 5.Add molasses, melted butter, vanilla bean paste, spices and flour slowly.
• 6.Add warmed cashew milk and beat until combined.
• 7. Add egg whites to batter and fold or whisk them in. Batter will NOT be smooth and should be lumpy still.
• 8. Pour into greased baking dish. Bake for 50-70 minutes.
• 9. Ovens greatly vary so check at 50 minutes and gently shake the rack. If the center is unset and very wobbly it needs more time. The top may over brown before the middle is fully cooked so tent with foil on top if this occurs. We have much better results with metal pans over glass and recommend them. The size is also crucial for layer formation so do not substitute with a larger or smaller pan.
• Streusel:1. In a large saucepan melt butter. Add sugar and stir until bubbly.
• 2. Add flour, pecans, oatmeal, ginger and cinnamon. Toss together and cook for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
• 3. Pour over cake top and allow entire cake to cool completely. Can be chilled for an even firmer texture.
• 4. Top with whipped cream, sprinkle with powdered sugar & cinnamon and serve in small slices. Lovely with coffee. Enjoy!

MAGIC CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch baking dish.
• Beat egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer until stiff.
• Combine egg yolks and white sugar in another large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add butter and vanilla extract; beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Fold in flour. Beat in milk slowly. Fold egg whites gently into the batter.
• Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden, 45 to 70 minutes. Let cool, about 30 minutes. Dust top with confectioners' sugar.

BERRY LAYER MAGIC CAKE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F. Line an 8-inch square metal baking pan with a 12-by-8-inch piece of parchment paper leaving an overhang on 2 sides.
• Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in the microwave, about 1 minute. Brush the parchment paper with some of the melted butter, then flip it over and press it back in the pan. Brush the other side of the paper and the sides of the pan with butter.
• Whisk the egg yolks and sugar vigorously in a large bowl until pale, creamy and thick, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the remaining melted butter and whisk until incorporated. Add the salt and all but 2 tablespoons of the flour, mixing until completely combined.
• Heat the milk in a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup in the microwave until warm, about 1 minute. Slowly add the milk and vanilla to the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly until well combined (the batter will be thin). Toss the berries with the reserved 2 tablespoons flour and gently stir into the mixture.
• Beat the egg whites and the cream of tartar in a clean bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed in until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Scrape the whites into the yolk mixture, gently breaking them up a little with a whisk. Using a whisk, gently stir and fold the mixture a few times to coat the whites with liquid while keeping as much volume as possible (the batter will not be homogeneous). Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
• Bake until the top is browned and puffed and the cake is mostly set with a slight jiggle in the center, about 1 hour. Let the cake cool completely in the pan, about 2 hours.
• To serve, dust the top of the cake with confectioners' sugar. Run a small offset spatula or thin knife around the edges of the pan to loosen. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the cake from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Cut the cake into 9 squares and serve topped with whipped cream.

• Bake in the preheated oven until top is lightly browned, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares, about 30 minutes.
