Its when all my foodiemonday group friends decided to have baking as this weeks challenge, then i had so many thoughts and it took me long time to decided what i have to do. First i decided to do some cookies with different touch but then a cake with flooding cream got my attention and so here it is to showcase.

Best thing about this cake is, it needs no decoration as it has lovely golden color on top and when you try slice it, cream will floods out....hmmm yummy.Loved the texture of the cake and that flooding experience of the cream.I found this cake little sweeter end even though i have a sweet tooth but enjoyed it overall.

Cake
In a bowl add butter, sugar and whisk it until creamy and then add egg.Mix well.
Add custard powder, flour and Vanilla extract and whisk it on low speed (otherwise you will end flour everywhere) until well combined. The batter will be thick and non runny.

Pour 1/3rd of the batter in the greased 7"pan and then pour the cream at the center and then carefully spread 2/3rd batter on it.
Bake for 25 mins at 170C. Let it cool for 10 mins and then slice it.

Tips
If you slice the cake when it is completely cooled then the cream will be set and it won't flood.
If you don't like flooding cream then half the quantity of the cream and slice the cake once it is completely cooled.
If you want vanilla cake then replace custard powder with flour in cake ingredients.
The cream should be thick (no runny consistency) and it should be placed at the center leaving 1 inch at the edges.
