Description

This Vanilla Pudding Cake is a delightful dessert that combines a light, fluffy cake layer with a creamy vanilla pudding center. The unique baking method involves pouring boiling water over the batter before baking, which creates a moist, custard-like texture underneath a golden cake top. Perfect for a comforting treat that’s easy to prepare and sure to impress.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry and Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Eggs and Additional Liquids

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, sugar, melted butter, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Add Eggs: Gently mix in the beaten eggs until the batter becomes uniform and smooth.
  4. Add Boiling Water: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Carefully pour the boiling water over the batter without stirring; this step creates the pudding layer beneath the cake.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The top should turn a beautiful golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the cake’s surface should come out clean when done.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baking is complete, allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes. This resting time allows the pudding center to set, making it easier to serve. Serve the cake warm for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Ensure the boiling water is poured carefully over the batter to avoid mixing, which helps create the pudding effect.
  • Use a 9-inch baking dish as specified for proper cooking time and texture.
  • Letting the cake rest after baking is essential for the custard center to set properly.
  • This dessert is best served warm but can be refrigerated and gently reheated if needed.
  • For a richer flavor, consider using whole milk or adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the batter.
