Spiced Pudding Cake
"Another find in the TOH magazine. Love that it is a full flavored cake that needs only a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon to finish. Serve this cake warm for best results!"

So tasty I almost chucked my diet out the window! DH had second helpings, with a BIG smile on his face. Served with a dollop of Recipe #485591, this was scrumptious, it could lead to a proposal. Yeah, that good. Once cooked, it's almost as if the cake is sitting in a moat, so there is gooey stuff to pour over the cake. The cake itself was not overly spicy, and would not be confused with gingerbread during tasting. Don't be surprised if the plate is licked clean. ETA: This was even better the second day! Made for The Wild Bunch for ZWT8 for its stop in India.
