Easy Custard Cake

Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"Another recipe found on line, so simple that with a one hour baking time you can have it ready in about 1.5 hours. Creamy and delicious, for all those custard lovers out there. This is even better the second day after sitting in the fridge overnight, but don't dust with powdered sugar until just before serving or it'll just melt into the cake"
