1 cup sugar

Beat in egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, beat in flour mixture ¼ at a time. Beat in ¼ cup milk just until combined. Pour into prepared pan.

  • For topper, in a large heat proof bowl, combine corn syrup and remaining 2 egg whites. Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a very large skillet. Place the bowl in the skillet of simmering water. Beating constantly with a hand-held electric mixer, beat 2-3 minutes or until temperature registers 140 degrees on an instant-read candy thermometer. Continue beating over hot water for 5 minutes. Carefully remove bowl from pan. Beat 2-3 minutes longer or until cool. Spoon atop cake. Serve within 2 hours. When cut milk seeps out and pools around cake.

The cake was delicious, but it was a little dry. I think I might try adding some extra milk or syrup next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would use less sugar next time.
