Description
A delightful dessert featuring a light cake topped with creamy custard and rich chocolate glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water and ½ cup butter to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture forms a ball, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Once cooled slightly, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Spread the dough into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding mixture until combined and smooth.
- Once the cake base has completely cooled, spread the custard filling evenly over the top.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth and glossy.
- Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the custard layer, spreading it gently with a spatula to cover the surface evenly.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set.
- Slice and enjoy this creamy, indulgent dessert!
Notes
- For best results, chill the cake for a longer time if possible.
- Feel free to garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries before serving.
