Ingredients You'll Need:

• For the Cake Batter:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar

  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Step-by-Step Instructions:

This pudding cake recipe is surprisingly simple!

Preparing the Cake Batter:

1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan. This prevents sticking and ensures a clean release.
2. Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure to remove any clumps.
3. Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; don't overmix.

Preparing the Pudding Mixture:

1. Whisk Together: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, flour, and salt until smooth.
2. Add Eggs & Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract and melted butter.

Baking the Pudding Cake:

1. Layer & Bake: Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan. Carefully pour the pudding mixture evenly over the cake batter. Do not stir.
2. Baking Time: Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
3. Cooling: Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. This allows the pudding to set properly.

Tips and Variations:

• Flavor Boost: Add chocolate chips, nuts, or fruit to the cake batter for extra flavor and texture.
• Spice it Up: Incorporate cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices to the batter for a warmer flavor profile.
• Citrus Twist: Add lemon or orange zest to either the cake batter or pudding mixture for a refreshing twist.
• Different Pan: This recipe can be adapted to other sized baking pans, just adjust the baking time accordingly. Keep an eye on it and use the toothpick test to check for doneness.

Serving Suggestions:

This pudding cake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with:

• Whipped cream: A classic pairing that adds a touch of sweetness and lightness.
• Vanilla ice cream: A decadent and satisfying combination.
• Fresh berries: A refreshing contrast to the rich cake.
