How to Make Indian Pudding Cake With Molasses Cream

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the molasses, milk, 1/2 cup brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and ginger. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, cloves, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 tablespoons brown sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the molasses mixture, alternating with the beaten egg whites, beginning and ending with the egg whites. Do this in three additions.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, sift powdered sugar over the cake.
  9. For the cream cheese frosting: In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
  10. Serve the cake topped with the molasses cream.
