Berry Pudding Cake is a quick and simple cake that makes delicious use of fresh summer berries. When berries were plentiful in the summertime, I baked this tender cake over sweet berries, creating a juicy, cobbler-like dessert. Raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries were mixed in a light pudding batter and baked.
Any combination of berries would be just fine for this dessert.
Dusted with powdered sugar and ready to devour. Serve with creme fraiche for a richer flavor, or just as is.
Berry pudding cake
Ingredients
- Non stick cooking spray
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Dash of salt
- 1 cup fat-free milk or light evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 cups assorted fresh berries (such as raspberries, blueberries and sliced strawberries)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat six 6-ounce individual ramekins with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange in a 15-10×1 inch baking dish filled with water; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla and salt; whisk until light and frothy. Whisk in milk until combined. Add flour and baking powder, whisk again till smooth.
- Divide berries among prepared ramekin dishes. Pour batter over berries (Batter will not cover the berries completely). Bake about 20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Serve warm. If desired, sift powdered sugar over each serving.

This reminds me of clafoutis, which I love. Great idea, to use fresh berries this way. Looks delicious! 🙂

Thanks Ronit. A lighter version of clafoutis perhaps? I made clafoutis with pears a while back too.

I love this recipe, Loretta. Having individual servings is great because you don’t have to chop up a dish and have someone get a sad or smaller piece than another person. I love the simplicity of it too and it’s so pretty!

Ha ha portion control is right Julie. Being a lighter dessert too, I think I will be making it more often with other fruit.
