Chocolate Caramel Pudding Cake
Ingredients
- 300 grams pound cake (I used Sara’s vanilla pound cake)
- 1 box (70g) caramel pudding mix
- 3 cups milk plus ½ cup milk for soaking cake
- 3 tsp cornflour mixed in ¼ cup milk
- chocolate cut in small chunks
- 1 cup whipping cream (for pudding)
- 150 grams milk chocolate cut into big chunks

- Take a 9 inch pudding tray and line it with pound cake slices.
- In a cup, mix together the caramel in the sachet and milk.
- Pour the caramel milk all over the cake. Add chocolate chunks over the cake.
- In a pot, pour milk and cornflour mix stir constantly.
- Once it comes to a boil, add the custard powder and mix well. Let it comes to a boil and turn off the heat. Transfer this into a bowl and let it cool down.
- Meanwhile whip whipping cream well and keep aside. Whisk the pudding in between.
- Once custard is completely cooled, add the whipped cream and whisk a little more with electric beater.
- Pour this over the cake slices and let it set for an hour.
- Make ganache by heating ½ cup whipping cream in a microwave for about 30 seconds. (The cream should almost come to a boiling point)
- Add the chocolate and butter into the cream and let it sit for a minute.
- Whisk well until the chocolate melts fully.
- Pour this over the pudding and let it set in the fridge overnight.
