I wish I could take credit for this 'magic' cake, but I found it at bakingglory.com. What makes it magic (you didn't ask)? There is no cake-like batter.....and it really comes out more like a crustless egg custard pie type dessert. Whatever you want to call it, it's so worth making. When it first comes out of the oven, it's so light and fluffy looking.....but as it cools, it kind of deflates. Don't let that deflate your happiness! This is truly tasty! And I'm sure you have all the ingredients in your fridge/pantry. So go make it! (Once again, I'm doing the post like I normally do and then at the end it's posted without the pics to make it easier for you to copy & paste/print.)

Separate
eggs....put the egg whites in a small bowl and mix until they are
stiff....set aside.
Put
the egg yolks in a medium bowl and mix with the sugar. Add the
melted butter and vanilla extract and continue to beat for a minute
or two.
Add
the flour to the egg yolk mixture and mix together until fully
incorporated.
Slowly
start adding the milk and mix well.
Add
the egg whites, a third at a time, gently folding in with a spatula
until all the egg whites are folded in.
Let

powdered sugar on it once it has completely cooled.

Pour
the batter into the baking dish and bake for 40 to 70 minutes or
until the top is lightly golden. The baking time can vary greatly
depending on the oven, so take a look at around 40 minutes and go
from there (I cooked mine for 50 minutes).
Let
cool and serve. Can be served 'as is' or you can sprinkle a little
powdered sugar on it once it has completely cooled.
Enjoy!
