Conventional oven
brownie pan
parchment paper
2 large mixing bowls
hand mixer
- 4 large eggs separated
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 8 tbsp butter melted
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk lukewarm (105-110℉)
Preheat oven to 325˚F
Line an 8”x 8” brownie pan with parchment paper
In a large bowl, add 4 egg yolks and sugar. Use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until it’s pale yellow.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Beat for a couple more minutes. Fold in the flour.
Once incorporated, add the warm milk, stirring to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer into stiff peaks.
Add the egg whites to the yolk mixture and gently fold them in. Be sure not to over-mix --there should be some streaks of egg white visible.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-70 minutes, or until the top is golden.
After the cake has cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar. You may top with fresh fruit too if you like.
