Description

Custard Cake Pudding Bites are soft, creamy treats made with fluffy bread, sponge cake, and rich egg custard—perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices white bread, crusts removed and cubed

  • 2 slices sponge cake or pound cake, cubed

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • ¼ cup condensed milk (optional, for added sweetness)

  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing)


Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

    • Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter.

  • Prepare the Base:

    • Gently mix cubed bread and sponge cake in a bowl.

    • Transfer mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

  • Make the Custard:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cream, sugar, condensed milk (if using), and vanilla until smooth.

  • Soak and Set:

    • Pour custard over the bread and cake cubes.

    • Press down gently so all pieces soak. Let sit 5–10 minutes.

  • Bake:

    • Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and set.

    • A toothpick should come out clean.

 

  • Cool and Chill:

    • Cool completely, then refrigerate for 1 hour.

    • Slice into bite-size squares and serve chilled or slightly warm.

Notes

  • For a deeper flavor, add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard.

  • You can use leftover cake or bread to reduce waste.

 

  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
