Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
4 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 cup white sugar

Instructions

Preparing the Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 8-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the milk. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Baking the Cake

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Making the Custard

In a medium saucepan, combine the light brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add in the milk while stirring. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Let cool.

Making the Meringue

In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add in the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the remaining 1/3 cup of sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.

Assembling the Cake

Spread the custard over the cooled cake. Spread the meringue over the custard and create swirls with a spoon. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the meringue is lightly browned. Let cool completely before serving.
