Pudding Jar Cake

Pudding cake is cake unlike any other – as it bakes, it creates a rich puddingy sauce underneath the batter, which bakes up all soft and cakey on top. You eat it in a bowl, with a spoon, which makes it a perfect candidate for baking in little glass jars. Cakes baked in jars are all the rage right now, but I find it awkward to eat plain old cake from a jar. When it’s pudding cake it makes perfect sense, and takes all the mess out of serving it up. Everyone gets their own, with the same amount of sauciness. Perfect.
