Have you tried my Magic custard cake yet from this post? How about my Chocolate version? Well, this is third version, equally delish! A reader on my first post had suggested strawberries on top for some added sweetness. I thought that was genius. I decided to macerate the berries to make them extra wonderful and it worked wonders! This cake is perfect with a dusting of powdered sugar and some coffee! Best part? It realllllly is magic! You are using one batter yet this cake turns out with 3 very different layers. You have to make it and eat it to believe it!! Such a fun cake to make!

It has been very frustrating trying to find the recipe for your Magic Custard Cake. The original post gives the ingredients and then we are prompted elsewhere for the directions. Then we are brought to your website, which does not show the recipe. There is no search area either. Navigating this site is not user friendly. Too bad. Perhaps you would email me the complete recipe? Thanks.

Which one is better? I notice several differences…type of sugar changed and increased, water added, and more flour….Strawberries could be added to the top of either but the cake, I want to make the one that tastes the most heavenly. Do you have a preference?

I liked the original one the best!

Being from the South & Fresh Strawberries available, I would simply have to add a package of Strawberry Jello to the Cake mixture. Then use heavy whipping cream & make my own whipped topping. So worth the extra effort. Thank you for the delish recipes
