This recipe dates back to the 1800s. It was a favorite of my father's and is now a hit with a husband. It works especially well when you've had a busy day and need to make a dessert pronto!

This tasted like bisquick with sugar water. I will not make this again even with less water

The cake was soggy. Instead of having a pudding or sauce under the cake, it just soaked up the sugar water into the cake making it soggy and wet. I have made other pudding cakes that had a chewy cake and a pudding underneath that were very good. This is not a good pudding cake.

This looked like it would really be good and easy. I agree with the other comments; when finished baking, I let it cool for about 20 minutes then dipped into it. It was like sitting on top of brown sugar water. I double checked the recipe and had written everything down as shown. There definitely is something wrong. Hope someone figures it out. I don't like to waste things so, we"ll finish this cake but will probably not make it again.

Could this recipe have a mistake?

I have other "pudding 'n cake" recipes that do only call for 1 cup of water. Perhaps try that and see what happens!!

NOT SURE THE RECIPE IS RIGHT, 2 CUPS OF WATER IN THE SAUCE? MADE IT VERY WATERY. THE PICTURE SHOWS THE SAUCE BEING THICKER.
