Golden Vanilla Pudding Cake . . .

This will definitely be on my cooking radar until I get a chance to actually make it for the family. I've seen a lot of recipes for Chocolate Pudding Cake but this one seems a great departure for the usual. A bit of freshly whipped cream on the finished product can only mean good things!

Golden Vanilla Pudding Cake
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking power
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk
1 cup dark, brown sugar
Nuts, optional

Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly before mixing in the vanilla and egg. Fold in the dry ingredients with the milk. Beat until well-combined. Spread mixture into a buttered 8 or 9" square pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with brown sugar and carefully spread the sour cream over it. If you are using nuts, sprinkle them on top of the sour cream.

Bake at 375 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. The batter will rise to the top and the sugar and sour cream turns into a caramel sauce. Invert onto a platter/plate immediately after removing from the oven. Be careful as it is hot caramel.

Can be served hot or cold but I'm thinking warm with the whipped cream!
