This is another one of my childhood favourite recipes and I remember asking for this “cake” for my birthday more than once. It is absolutely delicious and definitely a kid friendly recipe to make.
This recipe is literally made to flop. Yes, it is supposed to sink in the middle once removed from the oven.
The filling for this recipe is completely up to you, you can use your choice of instant pudding (I enjoy Moirs instant white chocolate mouse) or you can use my recipe for three ingredient mouse which is truly delectable and goes great with this recipe.
