Vanilla Bean Pudding Cake

This is a magical little cake.

You make one simple pudding sauce. Then you make one simple cake batter.

Pour the two into a baking pan (or several for individual desserts).

Bake.

And when you pull it out of the oven, it’s half pudding, half cake. A pudding cake!

It’s awesome. The custard-y vanilla bean sauce lines the bottom of the cake, creating a moist layer of vanilla custard. Meanwhile, the top bakes into a plump vanilla sponge. It’s like sticky pudding but not sticky, custard-y.

It produces an amazing vanilla flavor, full of both vanilla bean and vanilla extract. This is the cake to make for the vanilla lovers in your life. Cheers.
