A few days ago, I needed a quick but yummy dessert for a friend and her family that I was taking a meal to. I was thinking something with apples, so I got out the cookbook my grandma had made for my cousins & I several years ago. Instead of an apple dessert, I found the recipe for one of my favorites "Cinnamon Pudding." The name is deceiving, because it's not really pudding, it's more like a fluffy cake with this yummy, gooey, cinnamony syrup on the bottom. Oh, so good! It was so easy to make, I wondered why I had never attempted it before! I'll be making more of this very soon!
Here goes:
Cinnamon Pudding
1 cup sugar
1 cup milk
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp butter, softened
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups flour
Mix all ingredients together and pour into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
Syrup
2 cups brown sugar
2 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 cups cold water
Bring syrup ingredients to a boil, and pour on top of batter mix. (It's ok if it looks like its making holes in the batter, it's not suppose to stay on top!) Sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes. Do not over bake. Cake will appear bubbly and under baked, but when it cools, the syrup settles to the bottom and the cake will be on the top.
So easy & so yummy! And an easy one to make on short notice, since you probably have all the ingredients on hand! I was going to take a picture, but it got devoured before I had a chance!
