: I am trying to find a recipe called Poor Man's
Pudding. My husband said he had it when he was a
little boy, back in the 50's. Any help would be
appreciated.

Hi Jackie,

Here are a couple variations for you. I haven't tried
them - let us know how it turns out.

recipelink.com Cooking Club - Misc. Recipes and
Requests This is an old familly favorite and a standard "comfort
food" in our house - being French-Canadian we call it
"Pudding au Chaumeur" which translates directly to
"Well-Fare Pudding" or "Poor-Man's Pudding". You can
easilly substitute the brown suggar for your favorite fruit
or summer berries for a great summer dessert but in
the winter it is always served the traditional way - with
brown sugar sauce and lots of cream to pour on top!

Cake:
1/3 c. Shortening
1 c. Sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 1/2c. All-Purpose Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
1 c. Milk

Sauce:
1 c. Brown sugar, Packed
1 1/2 c. Water

Preheat oven to 350 F
Mix water and brown sugar in deep oven proof baking
dish (souffle pan works great!) place in heating oven
while preparing cake.
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla.
Combine dry ingrediants. Add to cream mixture
alternatly with milk. Pour over heated sauce. Return to
oven and cook 35-45 min. or until a toothpick inserted
in center comes out clean. (cooking time will vary
depending on size of pan - and therefore thickness of
cake)
