Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fruit preserves
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8x8 inch square baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, melt 1/4 cup of butter and allow it to cool slightly. Once cooled, add 1/2 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter. Stir well to combine.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared cake pan. Make sure to smooth the top with a spatula for an even bake.
- Using a spoon, dollop 1 cup of fruit preserves evenly over the top of the batter. You can use any flavor you prefer, such as raspberry, strawberry, or apricot.
- Using a knife or a skewer, gently swirl the fruit preserves into the batter to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to mix it in completely; you want to keep some of the preserves on top.
- Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Moms Majong Pudding Cake warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and even baking.
- Don't overmix the batter - lumpy is perfect! Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Choose high-quality fruit preserves for the most intense flavor.
- For a beautiful marbled effect, use a light hand when swirling preserves.
- Check the cake's doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to settle.
- Experiment with different preserve flavors like raspberry, strawberry, or apricot for variety.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent experience.
