This enchanting Magic Custard Cake lives up to its name—one batter transforms into a three-layered dessert as it bakes. A soft, cake-like top gives way to a silky custard center and a dense, pudding-like base, all from a single pour. It’s the perfect dessert to wow guests, yet surprisingly simple to make at home.
