Cream Puff Cake is a delightful dessert that combines the rich, buttery flavor of cream puffs with the ease of a cake. It’s a fantastic make-ahead dessert that’s perfect for any occasion! Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
For the Cake Layer:
1 cup water
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
For the Cream Filling:
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping:
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
1. Make the Cake Layer:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water and butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter is completely melted.
Once the butter is melted, add the flour and stir until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a ball (about 1-2 minutes). Remove from heat.
Allow the dough to cool for 5 minutes. Then, one at a time, add the eggs, stirring vigorously after each addition. The dough should become smooth and shiny.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared 9×13-inch baking dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cake has puffed up. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan.
