Vanilla Magic Custard Cake |#Vanillamagiccustardcake #Sweetrecipes #Cakedesserts #Cakecookies #Nobakecake #Bakingrecipes #Vanillamagiccustardcake #Custardcakerecipes #Custarddesserts #Vanillacakerecipe #Creamydesserts #Vanillacustardpie
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter-melted and slightly cooled
- 2 cups milk-lukewarm
- 1 and 1/4 cups (150 g) powdered sugar
- 4 eggs-separated
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 1 cup (115g) flour
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F
- Lightly grease 8×8 inch baking dish, set aside
- Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, set aside.
- Beat the egg yolks and powdered sugar until pale yellow.
- Mix in melted butter and the tablespoon of water (for about 2 minutes) until evenly combined.
- Mix in the flour until evenly incorporated.
- Slowly beat in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Fold in the egg whites (1/3 at a time, then repeat until all of the egg whites are folded in).
- Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40-60 minutes (until the cake is barely jiggly in the center). Baking time might vary depending on your oven or pan you use, but start checking after 40 minutes. If the top browns too quick before the minimum of 40 minutes, you can cover the cake with aluminum foil.
- Cool the cake completely before dusting with powdered sugar. Even cooled, it will be slightly jiggly because it has custard layer in the center.

Recipes Cookbook - RIDICULOUSLY TENDER BEEF TIPS WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY
RIDICULOUSLY TENDER BEEF TIPS WITH MUSHROOM GRAVY | #RIDICULOUSLY #TENDER #BEEF #TIPS #MUSHROOM #GRAVY #Crockpot_meals #Beef_tips_crock_pot_recipes #Slow_cooker_recipes #Instant_pot_recipes_healthy_family #Crockpot_chicken_recipes #Instant_pot_recipes_videos #Buddah_bowl #Cooking_recipes #Yummy_food #Ethnic_recipes #Crockpot_recipes #Meat_dishes
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 pounds chuck roast, trimmed+ cubed (or stew meat works too)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 onion, diced
- 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms, cut into thick slices
- 1 ½ teaspoon EACH: garlic powder AND sugar
- 1 teaspoon EACH: onion powder, dried thyme, AND mushroom powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large bay leaf
- ½ cup pepperoncini peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ – 2 cups low sodium beef stock (see directions)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (mixed with a few tablespoons of water)
Instructions
- SEAR: Season the beef with the flour, a big pinch of salt and pepper; mix well. Heat the butter in the instant pot on the sauté setting or a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. When it melts sear the beef in batches to form a brown crust, remove to a plate, and continue searing the remaining beef. Add the onions and switch to a wooden spoon. Sauté them for 1 minute, scraping the bottom of the pot to make sure no brown bits are left stuck on.
- SLOW COOKER: Place 2 cups of beef stock along with the remaining ingredients in the slow cooker (except the corn starch) and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 5-7 hours. 35 minutes before the cooking time is up, combine ½ cup of the liquid from the slow cooker and the cornstarch in a small bowl, whisk until smooth. Add to the slow cooker and allow for the food to cook for the remaining 30 minutes. If the gravy is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water to thin it to your desired consistency. If you still find your gravy is thin, add more cornstarch mixed with a tablespoon of water. Adjust salt and pepper to preference and serve over rice/mashed potatoes/cauliflower mash, etc.
- OR INSTANT POT: Place 1 ½ cups of beef stock along with the remaining ingredients in the instant pot (except the cornstarch) and select the meat/stew setting. Cook on manual high pressure for 35 minutes. Once the stew is cooked allow natural pressure release for 10-15 minutes. This gives the meat a chance to really soak up all those flavors. Click the ‘sauté’ setting. Dissolve the cornstarch with 2-3 tablespoons of water and add that to the instant pot once the liquid starts bubbling. Allow the sauce to thicken, about 1-2 minutes, stir to combine. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add a couple more tablespoons of water to thin it to your desired consistency. Adjust salt and pepper to preference and serve over mashed cauliflower, mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
