Custard Cake - The Not So Creative Cook
Layers of caramel, custard and vanilla sponge cake – so deliciously sweet! It is very nice how things bring back childhood memories. I don’t have much childhood memories when it comes to playing under the rain or with my playmates/school mates. One thing I can tell you – I can still remember my favorite foods when I was a kid… and believe me, even how they tasted. I remember one time I sent a message to my kindergarten best friend (and was also my neighbor) and asked her if she remembered the brand of the biscuit I always had as my snack along with chocolate drink. She said it was decades ago and can’t remember the name, even how it looked back then. One of my favorites when I was a child is custard cake. It is a cake with layers of vanilla sponge cake, flan and caramel. Back then, since we were just getting it from a bakery, the custard was very thin. I remember that I used to take all custard and left the cake all behind. I think my Mom always suspected it was all me, every single time. 😀 When I started baking, custard cake was in the list. Since I was a hesitant to tweak a recipe with thin custard, I did not proceed. I waited for the right time until I saw this recipe. I think I turned off the oven earlier that I did not get that 100% firm custard, but my gosh, I really loved it. Every bite brought back those childhood memories I had when I was with my Mom enjoying the store-bought custard cake. I am sure she is very proud of me (from up there) now that I can make one of the cakes we used to enjoy together. I hope you can try the recipe and let me know. 🙂 I hope that doesn’t sound complicated and I hope my friends at Fiesta Friday #131 will love this. Thanks to our ladies – Angie, Laura and Su.
