Start with a yummy pound cake. Don't finish it and let it go a bit stale. Get out some canning jars. Depending on how much cake you have left-over, choose the size of your jars. Cut the cake into cubes. Put some on the bottom of the jar. Pile in some flour coated berries (in this case: blueberries, raspberry, blackberry.) More cake, more berries and so it goes to the top. Make a batch of baking custard. It depends on how much cake again (I will include a basic recipe.) Pour the custard into the jars leaving plenty of head space. Put in a hot water bath, into a 180C/355F/Gas 4 oven. Let cool. You can cover the top as the pudding bakes for a smooth top and leave open for a bit of a crust. I was told the crusty top was the best bit!
Custard for baking:
350ml/12fl oz whole milk
50ml/2fl oz double cream
2 eggs
25g/1oz granulated sugar (I used vanilla pod infused sugar, if not add a splash of vanilla extract.)

Thanks Pinterest!
I've been finding bargains on cast iron cookware and restoring it. This also shows that I have been baking eggs for deviled eggs. Very tasty this way!

It's so much fun to eat or drink out of a jar. Why is that?
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. There is something laid back and fun about eating or drinking out of a jar.
ReplyDeleteThis looks good! You know how I like bread pudding.
ReplyDeleteYou were one of the people I had in mind when I made this, Cait. I don't like bread pudding, but ate some of this. The cake texture was do-able for me.
