“The ‘pudding’ is really a cake, but this is what my grandmother always called it. It is topped with a butter-sugar sauce when served. I have never had anything as delicious in my life. It is not low- cal, but one of those rare indulgences worth the calories.”
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons shortening
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries
- 1/2 cup pasteurized egg
- 2/3 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish.
- In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until smooth; mix in egg. Stir in the milk. Sift in the flour and baking powder, and mix well. Fold in the blueberries. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- In a medium bowl, beat the confectioners’ sugar and butter together until smooth. Beat in the egg gradually, then stir in vanilla. Chill until serving. Serve chilled sauce over warm pudding.
