10-15
ingredients
- 1 2⁄3 cups water
- 1 can Carnation Evaporated Milk (12 oz. size)
- 1⁄4 cup margarine, cut into pieces
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1⁄4 cup cornstarch
- 1⁄3 cup water
- 1 baked poundcake, cut into thin slices (about 1/4-1/2" thick)
- ground cinnamon
directions
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 2/3 cups water, evaporated milk, margarine, sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
- Mix together the cornstarch and the 1/3 cup water; add to the mixture in the pan.
- Heat over medium-low (about#3-4 on an electric stove), stirring constantly, until it begins to thicken and has developed a pudding texture (it will coat the back of a wooden spoon)- this takes about 15-20 minutes.
- Chill in a covered bowl in the fridge until cool- pudding should thicken a bit when cool.
- Line a 9x13" glass casserole dish with thin slices of pound cake, fitting the slices in so the entire pan base is covered.
- Spread the pudding over the pound cake.
- Dust entire surface with ground cinnamon.
- Chill, covered, at least 1 hour and until ready to serve.
- Notes: This pudding doesn't harden up as much as other puddings- it thickens, but retains a soft, slightly pourable consistency like a trifle custard or like zabaglione.
- This dessert will not have a"tall" appearance- make sure your cake slices are cut only about 1/4-1/2" thick.

This is delicious, the pudding is lovely and creamy and when poured over the cake makes a really yummy custard type pudding cake. I used butter in place of margarine, and a store bought Madeira cake. I'm going to experiment a little for a Christmas type dessert by laying cut strawberries over the cake before I pour the pudding over, sounds like a good idea to me! Thanks HeatherFeather.

I followed the recipe exactly. Tip: frozen pound cake slices beautifully and defrosts quickly. My friend and family thoroughly enjoyed this "delicious" dessert and it was a breeze to make. Thanks very much! By the way, I've hated custard since I was a kid, but I liked this, too! I'm kind of amazed actually....
