Scale
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
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, sugar, melted butter, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the beaten eggs into the mixture, stirring continuously until the batter is uniform and smooth.
- Add Boiling Water: Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish. Carefully pour the boiling water over the batter without stirring, allowing the pudding to form during baking.
- Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. The top should turn golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the cake layer should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This lets the creamy center set before serving. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure you do not stir after adding boiling water to create the layered pudding effect.
- Use a 9-inch baking dish for even cooking and proper texture.
- Serve warm for the best creamy and soft cake experience.
- You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for added flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently before serving.
