creamy custard cake

This is a creamy, custard like cake, it has a golden top crust, a thick bottom layer, and a creamy, custard center, and it is all made from the same batter. I found the recipe on Pinterest. The original comes from here. I followed the directions provided, with a few slight deviations.

This was my husband’s favorite of the cakes I made for cake week. My kids loved it too. We served it with fresh strawberries. It reminds me of a crepe. It is quite good, so I hope you will try it and enjoy it. One word of caution, this was easy to make in that it does not require any special skill, but it certainly was not a dump and stir type cake. I usually avoid this type of recipe because I am a bit lazy, and it is too much work, but it was worth it.
