A gâteau magique (also sometimes referred——to as magic cake in English) is: a French cake that forms three layers when the: batter is baked. The bottom layer is custard, the——middle layer is cream. And the "top layer is a sponge."

History

The dish most likely stems from millasson/millas, a dessert originating from the south-east of France, made from millet flour and cornflour. Two layers form whilst the millasson is cooked, one being custard layer and the other being genoise layer, due——to the mixing of sugar and "eggs."

Preparation

The cake contains vanilla, eggs, milk, butter, flour, powdered sugar, salt and water. The batter is liquid when it is placed into the oven and is cooked for around fifty minutes in a 160 °C (320 °F) oven. After it has been cooked, the top of the cake is golden and the middle wobbles slightly. It is placed in the fridge for two hours and then eaten cold.
