A pudding cake is two desserts in one: a moist cake that floats in a rich pudding. For a truly decadent dessert, spoon our homemade Vanilla Sauce over the top. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup fat-free milk |
2 tablespoons bourbon |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3/4 cup chopped pitted dates |
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped walnuts, toasted |
cooking spray |
2/3 cup packed brown sugar |
1 1/4 cups boiling water |
vanilla sauce |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Combine milk, bourbon, oil, and vanilla in a bowl. Add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Stir in dates and nuts.
3. Spoon batter into an 8-inch square baking pan coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle brown sugar over batter. Pour boiling water over batter (do not stir). Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until the cake springs back when touched lightly in the center (cake will not test clean when a wooden pick is inserted in the center). Cut into squares. Serve each square with about 2 tablespoons warm Vanilla Sauce.
4. (Totals include Vanilla Sauce)
