Tips
- The pudding forms on the bottom while this cake bakes.
- It’s best to serve it hot or warm before pudding soaks into the cake, so plan to put it into the oven before you sit down to dinner, and it will be just right at dessert time.
- Chai tea pudding cake: Add 2 Chai tea bags to milk in the sauce before heating; discard before adding to baking dish. Add 1/2 tsp (2 mL) of each ground cinnamon and ginger and 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) of ground cardamom to the flour mixture.
