Blueberry Custard Pudding Cake
-
Prep time: 10 minutes
-
Bake time: 35–40 minutes
-
Servings: 2–4 (depending on the size of your ramekins/baking dish)
Ingredients
-
1 cup (approx. 150g) Fresh blueberries (plus a few extra for topping)
-
2 large Eggs
-
¼ cup (50g) Granulated sugar
-
½ cup (120ml) Whole milk
-
¼ cup (60ml) Heavy cream (Note: You can use all milk if you want it lighter, but cream makes it extra rich!)
-
3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
-
1 tablespoon Melted butter (for greasing the baking dish)
-
Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting on top
Instructions
1. Prep the Oven and Dish
-
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
-
Brush the inside of a medium baking dish (or 2–3 smaller glass ramekins, like the one in the photo) with the melted butter.
2. Arrange the Berries
-
Wash and thoroughly dry your blueberries.
-
Place a generous handful of blueberries at the bottom of your greased baking dish(es).
3. Mix the Custard Batter
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until smooth and slightly pale.
-
Whisk in the all-purpose flour until no lumps remain.
-
Slowly pour in the milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Whisk gently until you have a smooth, thin batter (it will look like pancake batter but much thinner).
4. Pour and Bake
-
Carefully pour the liquid batter over the blueberries in the dish. The berries will naturally float to the top—that is exactly what you want!
-
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
-
How to tell it’s done: The edges should be golden brown and puffed up, and the center should be mostly set with just a slight, tiny jiggle when shaken.
5. Serve
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5–10 minutes (it will deflate a little as it cools, which is normal).
-
Dust the top with a little powdered sugar, spoon a few extra fresh blueberries on top, and enjoy it warm with a spoon!
Tip: If you want that extra gooey, stringy texture shown on the spoon in the photo, enjoy it right out of the oven while it’s still warm. If you prefer a firmer, more sliceable custard, let it cool completely and chill it in the fridge for an hour before serving.
