Soft Vanilla Custard Cake Squares

There is something wonderfully comforting about a homemade cake that looks simple but delivers an irresistibly soft, creamy bite. These Soft Vanilla Custard Cake Squares are light, tender, and gently sweet, with a delicate golden top and a generous dusting of powdered sugar.

The batter comes together easily, then bakes into a beautifully soft cake that can be cut into neat squares for serving. It is the kind of dessert that works just as well for an afternoon coffee as it does for a family gathering.
