I’m so glad that you got a break in the weather and could bake. 🙂 I laughed at your “thought you were going to have to blog about cheese and crackers”!
My favorite pan is my 10 1/2 iron skillet, but your Magic Custard Cake looks better in the spring form pan. 😉 I am a little leery of Pyrex, too. I had a 9X13 Pyrex full of cake batter shatter all over the inside of my (NOT self-cleaning) oven a couple of years ago. The house smelled divine, but the oven was just indescribably horrific! 🙂
Thanks for commenting Joy. I was quiet happy with the cake, but I continue to work on presentation and it seems I always have the wrong pan. I am so sorry about your shattered pyrex. I am hearing more and more of those type of accidents I no longer trust them.
This cake looks so delicious! I will have to try this recipe for sure. I like that it id mafe from scratch with all natural ingredients.

Have a great week 🙂

This is going to be the perfect dessert for a green chile stew. I’ve been wondering what to make. Regarding Pyrex, a major ingredient has changed due to regulations, but Pyrex will always shatter if exposed to the very high heat of a broiler or (obviously), direct flame. The temperature range used to be on the bottom of the pans, which I chose to ignore…only once. Lovely dessert. Glad I found you from SoneGable.
I have never heard of custard cake, Madonna, but it sure looks tasty! I hope you find the perfect baking pan and let us know what it is. My Pyrex has never shattered and when using glass, I always turn down the oven by 25 degrees.
I love the three layers…it sounds light and delicious. If I use a springform pan in a recipe that has a thin batter, I wrap the outside of the pan with foil.
Karen, This is a light custard. I think if you use granulated sugar it would be heavier and sweeter, but I liked the light version, and it was not too sweet. I like sweet, but it has been so hot here I really appreciated that it was light. I guess I should have wrapped my pan especially because the batter is so soupy, but I was told this was a no leak pan. I guess I should not have been so gullible. I did bake it on a sheet pan which saved the day. I really need new pans.
We’re just getting a break in the heat, I love it! Your cake sounds delightful, I do love anything with the words magic included 🙂
Oh, and about your pan dilemma, you could try a trick that I learned from a friend of mine. You go to the nicest kitchen store in town and talk to the manager. You ask him what kind of pans he would buy for his wife. If he doesn’t have a wife, you ask if he has a mother. Then you ask what kind of pans he would buy for his mother. It works like a charm, my friend is a pro at this! 🙂
I am glad you made it and it works..as I have seen it and wondered also..
It looks lovely madonna.
Funny I would use a springform too.. can you add foil around the oustide to prevent leakage?
Ther’s a mold out there for everything..
But this looks deliacte to unmold..so a springform is all I can think of:)
The pan said leak-proof, silly me. I baked it on a half-sheet pan on parchment, but I was anxious before it finished baking. I am thinking about a square/straight side Chicago professional and then just line it with parchment. I just want it to be multitask bakeware and then I want it to last a hundred years. 🙂
You might try lining with parchment paper. I do this with my spring form pan. Cut a large circle for the bottom and wrap a long length round the inside of the spring form. You can always wrap a bit of foil on the outside. To hold the parchment paper in place (it can shift a bit… I brush the pan with a very thin film of oil or butter.
I wanted to invite you to the Friday Flash Blog Party, the best linky in town! I hope you’ll join us and link up. Who knows. You may just get highlighted!
I only wish I could keep up with your delicious dishes. I know I could make and eat one a day and never keep up. This looks so good. I do agree a bit of nutmeg would be great for the holidays.
Thanks for sharing, I am pinning.
Have a great week and thanks for visiting me. ginger
Thank you for visiting Ginger. I am so tempted to make it again with nutmeg; I think it would taste like eggnog and that is always welcome during the holidays.
Nice to meet you Ms. Lemon. Would you recommend a little lemon juice and zest in this instead of the vanilla? Sounds like it may be lovely.
Since I have found Temptations bakeware at QVC.com I am eliminating all other baking dishes from my kitchen a bit at a time. Baking and clean up is amazing and they are so pretty in many different patterns and colors. I am collecting the red Floral Lace pattern.
Thank you for visiting. I will have to go check QVC. I am not sure about adding the lemon. It may curdle the milk. I tried really hard to stick to the recipe the first time. If it works for you let me know.
Light and airy and delicious looking! Love the way the top bakes up; such an interesting texture! Thanks for sharing and good luck finding just the right pans!

Oh, my goodness…that looks amazing…and really different! Good idea about adding nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for the season!…hugs…Debbie

Debbie thanks for visiting. I have not yet tried the spices, but I was tempted especially with the upcoming seasons.

This magic custard really looks magical and delicious! It looks like a great light dessert! Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
Ms. Lemon says
Thank you for visiting. I really liked the confectioners sugar as opposed to granulated. It made it light like a soufflé and a custard combined.

Thank you for visiting Kitty. The cake has three layers, the crust, the custard, and meringue-like topping.
The new pyrex is not like the old so it is not as strong as the original.

I did use parchment, but I may have tried for a tighter fit before adding the batter. Brushing with butter sounds like a good idea.
