Pudding cakes are basically egg custards, but with two improvements. Unlike ordinary egg custards, pudding cakes contain a little flour and beaten egg whites. During baking, the beaten egg whites will float to the top, forming a spongy, cake-like cap. Meanwhile, the remainder of the batter settles to the bottom to make a pudding-like layer.
