This baked up beautifully! Like Galley Wench, I was a little nervous putting it into the oven, but WOW! It really was wonderful, and pudding cake is a perfect name for it! Thanks so much for posting your recipe, it was really good :)

Wow!!This was a great cake! Very moist and tasty. The only problem was that the cake was a tad bit too sweet. I noticed that another reviewer said to use 1/2 cup sugar with cornstarch. I did do that but was still a little too sweet. I will definitely make this again but maybe use 1/2 cup sugar instead of 3/4 cup in the second step. Thank you so much for posting. Great cake!

yummy ! I used 1 cup of fresh blueberries and 1 cup of frozen raspberries un-thawed. And for the end, I used only half a cup of sugar like Chef Schellies suggested. It was enough sweet like that. Thanks KelBel :)

I liked this, and the cake part on the top was perfect. The berry part was very sweet, though. I think that one could cut the sugar that you sprinkle on the top back from 1 cup to maybe 1/2 cup and be fine. If I make this again, I will try this and post the results. Also, it does look really funny (sort of watery/clumpy) just before you put it in the oven. Rest assured that this is the way it is supposed to look.

I was a little leary of the instructions but it turned out beautifully. As you said it is a light pudding cake. The next time I think I'll try making it with splenda. Forgot to take a picture last night so this of the left overs, which I'm having for breakfast!
