Let's Get Started!

The Ingredients To Gather:

Pudding:
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup  granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter
Cake:
1 3/4 cups  flour
1 cup  granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
6 tablespoons butter, melted

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

Preheat  oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a glass 9X13-inch baking pan. Set  baking pan on a larger, rimmed baking sheet.

Set aside.
For  pudding, in a medium saucepan, whisk together  cornstarch, about 1/4 cup of the milk until the mixture is lump-free and smooth. Add rest of  milk, heavy cream, sugar,  salt.
Heat  mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until  mixture comes to  simmer.

Simmer for 2-3 minutes; it will thicken slightly . Stir in  vanilla ,butter until butter is melted.
Pour  pudding mixture into  prepared pan.
For the cake,  whisk together  flour, sugar, baking powder, salt.
In  separate bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together  eggs, milk, vanilla. Pour  wet ingredients into  dry ingredients, followed by  melted butter.
Whisk just until combined – don't overmix. It's ok if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Pour batter in a steady stream across  pudding  – the cake batter will sink into the pudding, that's ok! Just try to pour  batter as evenly as possible over the pudding layer.
Bake  cake for 30-40 minutes, until  edges and top of the cake are set with bubbling pudding underneath.

Add additional time as needed. The cake will rise very close to the top of the baking pan while baking; after it is removed from the oven it will fall and settle a bit.
Serve warm with fresh berries or whipped cream.

Note: To Make In Microwave:  In  microwave-safe bowl, whisk together t cornstarch, about 1/4 cup of  milk until mixture is lump-free and smooth. Add rest of  milk, heavy cream, sugar,  salt. Cook for 2-minute intervals in the microwave, whisking in between. In my microwave, it takes about 12 minutes total (so six intervals) to bubble, thicken slightly.

Enjoy!
