A few tips:
- Make sure to combine the dry ingredients well before mixing them with the rest of the ingredients.
- Which the eggs well, but not too fluffy. Set aside 1/4 part of the egg mixture for later for the topping.
- You can use pear or applesauce in this recipe. The taste will vary slightly depending on which one you use, but it will not have a major impact.
- Grease or spray the ramekins well to avoid the pudding cake from sticking.
- This recipes makes 2-3 ramekins, depending on which size you use. You can also make one slightly larger one or double the batch and make a big one in a large round or square dish. If making this recipe in one slightly larger dish the baking time will be 30-35 minutes, then 15 minutes more post adding the topping. If you make a double batch in a large dish the baking time will be 45-50 minutes, then 15 minutes more with the topping added.
- Make sure only to fill the ramekins/baking dish 3/4 of the way up. This pudding cake will pop while it bakes and you will need some space left for the topping.
- Let the cakes cool for 5-10 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and serve as are, with ice cream, whipped cream, yogurt or any other topping of your choice.
- They are also delicious and tasty to eat cold.
