Made these today for the first time.. family had a tiring weekend with a new puppy and a broken toilet and the 5 year old nephew visiting.. something sweet was just what we needed this afternoon. :)

They were very yummy! .. The original recipe said to bake them a a 375 degrees.. the bottoms burned so I suggest using a 350 degree oven when making them..

I had tried to make pudding cakes 3 times over the past year and was never satisfied with the results... So I did not have high expectations for this recipe either. But wow was I in for a special treat with this one! My family all loved it and the recipe has now been added to the "keeper" book. :)


* Note:
The original recipe called for 1 1/2 cups of sugar which I felt was a little too much and I cut it to 1 cup. I obviously don't have any comparison, but I have to say I didn't miss it at all.. The pudding part was sweet and yummy and the cake part was light and fluffy!
