Description

My mom used to make this miracle pudding, and I still make this pudding-like cake. The batter rises to the top during baking, and a pudding-like sauce forms underneath the crust. There is also a lemon version.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/3 cup white sugar

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 cup raisins

• 1/2 cup milk

• 1 cup packed brown sugar

• 2 cups boiling water

• 1 tablespoon butter

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 2-quart casserole dish.

2 Sift flour, white sugar, and baking powder together in a large bowl. Add raisins and stir in milk. Spoon batter into the prepared dish.

3 Combine brown sugar, boiling water, butter, and vanilla. Gently pour over batter. Do not stir.

4 Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
