How to Make Ugly Duckling Pudding Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter, softened, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup buttermilk. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 4 minutes.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle evenly with ½ cup packed light brown sugar and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before glazing.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup heavy cream, ½ cup powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).
- Pour the warm glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
