Pineapple Pudding Cake Via Susiequsie

Submitted by twissis

"SusieQusie & I are in "Recipe Exchange Mode" these days. This sounds so darned good that we might have had an epic tug-of-war over it if she hadn't just conceded it to me w/o complaint. Graham Kerr was her source again & he said: "This is 1 of those old-fashioned cakes that separates into 2 parts - cake & custard. It has a sweet/tart flavor & smooth texture". Thx SQ!"

We made this recipe exactly as stated and really enjoyed it. It was mild and sweet, and the custardy consistency made it very soothing after a long day. I will add this to my buttermilk cookbook. Thanks for posting!

This is a charming, very homey sort of dessert---very like the lemon pudding cake my mother used to make eons ago. This is happily not too sweet and very light tasting. Thanks to Twissis and SusieQusie and Graham Kerr!
