Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Sponge cake or pound cake
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Slice the sponge cake or pound cake into thin, rectangular slices and arrange them neatly on a serving tray or individual serving plates.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the milk is warmed through, but do not allow it to boil.
Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract, ensuring the sugar is dissolved completely.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a smooth slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the warmed milk mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to the consistency of a custard (this may take about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat.
Ladle the thickened custard over the slices of cake, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon liberally over the top of the dessert for a finishing touch.
Allow the dessert to cool slightly, then refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to chill before serving. Serve cold and enjoy!
