Ingredients
- 4 cups stale cake (crumbled)
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the stale cake crumbs, breaking them down into small pieces with your hands or a fork to ensure they are evenly sized.
Step 4
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
Step 5
Pour the liquid mixture over the cake crumbs, gently folding the crumbs into the liquid until fully saturated. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the crumbs to absorb the liquid.
Step 6
Transfer the soaked cake crumb mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean.
Step 8
Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or whipped cream, if desired.
