Left with a couple of soon-to-expire large eggs and not wanting them to go to waste, I decided I’d do a cake this time which I’m sure my husband would fancy (he loves cakes to bits!). Just a little treat for him since he’s working from home.
Inspired by the popular British dessert, Queen of Puddings, this cake is extremely easy to make and so yummylicious!

My husband absolutely loved the cake! It was spongy, moist and so flavoursome. We kept half for breakfast the next day and it still tasted so good. A must-try tea time dessert! =)
