Cuppycake

This was good.. Not enough to warrant 5 stars but still very good.. Also, I cant honestly give 5 stars because I dont make it as stated anymore.. I put in a tsp of instant coffee, the cocoa and the sugar and enough milk to make 1 mug.. Then heat in d microwave till really hot.. quite different to this recipe but it started out here. I love it like that and drink it often..

This is a recipe that we in Srilanka call Caramel pudding.. It is very popular and is a fall back quick and easy pudding that we use very often. That recipe uses water in place of the milk and less sugar for the sauce. I tried this recipe as is and Im comparing it to that. I love the firmer custard texture and the thicker caramel sauce that forms here. Its great warm or cold and I always unmould so the sauce drips down the sides. Somehow, I find that the sauce increases as it chills, so if I unmould straight from the steamer (which I use in place of oven. same cooking time) I have less sauce. If I refrigerate overnight then turn out, more sauce. Anyway, this is so much better than the traditional I grew up with.. My friends agree too.. They've all asked me for the recipe.. :) Who would have thought just milk in place of water would make such a big difference!

This recipe is excellently good!! My family loved it.. The only changes I made were, I doubled the shrimp in the recipe because it didn't sound enough to me & I added 1 can of evaporated milk instead of the pasta water in the recipe because I had a can that needed to be used up. IMO, even after adding the evaporated milk, I could have added a bit of the pasta water to thin the sauce out a bit more.. It thickens on standing. I also added some cilantro in place of parsley and basil.. Will make this recipe many more times for sure.. We all loved it on the day of making but I loved it even more cold from the fridge for lunch the next day..

Ive always been curious about this recipe but I was a little apprehensive too.. Spinach & it tastes good? So I made just half a batch. The only changes I made was to substitute water spinach for the spinach, sauté the onions in half the butter then add the spinach and sauté till cooked. Turned off flame and allowed to cool slightly then added the rest of the butter and stir till melted (just coz I couldn't be bothered melting it separately). I also added 1/2 tsp of black pepper powder and 1/2 tsp of red chillie flakes to the flour with the salt. Mixed the mozzarella into the flour then added the egg milk mixture & then the spinach. I baked this in an 8"by 8" Pyrex dish, cut squares while quite warm (not hot) and served warm.. I really dunno how it tastes served cold as the recipe states because my family devoured it before it could cool down completely. Easy peasy!! & very good too.

This is one awesome recipe.. My family raves about it.. My mum has started buying more bananas than we could eat up before it gets overripe coz she knows if it goes beyond ripe it's gonna be used for Banana bread that she loves instead of going waste. My aunts have requested this several times over... Try it.. U won't regret!! & I don't change anything about it except subbing butter for the shortening just because I don't use shortening..

This is delicious!! Its a recipe I will use over and over.. the topping was what made this cake extra special. The cake in itself (without topping) is good but nothing extraordinary. and you might want to line the bottom of the loaf tin with parchment paper, otherwise this may stick quite badly ( I learned the hard way). All in all, very good recipe worthy of 5 stars!
