2 butter poundcake (thawed, if using frozen ones)
8 lemons
6 eggs

  • Squeeze juice from lemons over cake.
  • Whisk eggs and sugar in bowl until combined.
  • Whisk in milk. (I'll sometimes add some lemon zest to this, too.)
  • Pour over pound cake; let soak for an hour.
  • Heat oven to 350.
  • Cover pan with foil and bake 45-60 minutes. Sometimes I'll uncover the pan for the last 10 minutes or so to crisp up the top.

POUND CAKE BREAD PUDDING RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Pound Cake Bread Pudding Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by wing118677

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 About 3 cups of cake cubes
4 eggs
1 3/4 cups of milk
1/2 cup of granulated sugar
whipped cream for topping, or other desired sauce

Steps:

  • Lay your cake pieces on the bottom of a buttered baking dish, fitting them in snuggly next to eachother. Combine 4 eggs, 1 3/4 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and whisk together. This will be the custard. (you may need a little more milk if you are using more cake). Carefully pour the custard over the cake cubes and press down with a spatula to absorb the liquid. Bake in a 350F oven for about 35 minutes. When ready to serve, cut into pieces and drizzle the warm cake pudding w/ heavy cream (as if the cake-turn-pudding didn't have enough fat & calories).

Tips:

  • Use a stale pound cake for the best texture and flavor.
  • If you don't have stale pound cake, you can dry it out by baking it at a low temperature for a few hours.
  • Use a variety of dried fruits and nuts for a more flavorful bread pudding.
  • Soak the dried fruits in warm water for 30 minutes before adding them to the bread pudding to plump them up.
  • Use a good quality custard base for the bread pudding. A custard base made with eggs, milk, and cream will give the bread pudding a rich and creamy texture.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath to prevent it from drying out.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Pound cake bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a classic bread pudding that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you have some stale pound cake, don't throw it away.
