Time 4h10m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup vegetable oil, plus more for greasing pan
One 16.5-ounce box red velvet cake mix
8 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing dish
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Fine salt
4 cups whole milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously oil a 12-cup muffin pan.
  • Combine the cake mix, oil, 3 of the eggs and 1 cup water until smooth; divide among the muffin cups. Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese, butter, confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon of the vanilla and a pinch of salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a hand mixer) until smooth.
  • Whisk the milk, egg yolks, granulated sugar, remaining 5 eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Butter a shallow 3-quart baking dish. Cut the cupcakes in quarters and scatter half over the bottom of the dish. Dollop half the frosting over the cupcakes, then pour in half the custard mixture. Repeat the layering once. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover the bread pudding and sprinkle the pecans on top. Bake until the top is golden brown and the center is set, about 1 hour. If the pecans start to burn, loosely tent the dish with foil. Cool completely on a wire rack.

This is from Paula Deens deep fried christmas. I chose to make a boxed cake to cut down the cooking time, but if you want to make it homemade by all means...

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 red velvet cake made according to to directions.
3 1/4 c powdered sugar
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
3 eggs plus 1 yolk
3 c half and half
1 pinch salt
1 tsp good vanilla
1 qt whipped topping, thawed (optional)
sprig(s) mint leaves garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Make cake according to box directions. Turn out of pan and cool completely. Once cake is cooled, cut into cubes and put on baking sheet in a single layer and bake again at 350' for 10 minutes. Set aside. This step is very important because you dont want a wet cake, crisp it so it wont absorb so much liquid.
  • 2. In a large bowl, Combine powdered sugar and cream cheese until mixed well. In a seperate bowl, Combine eggs, half and half, salt, and vanilla. Mix well. Add together slowly.
  • 3. You can use ramikins or use a 9'13 inch pan. Butter the ramikins and/or pan. Put cubes into ramikins or pan, pour custard over cake and bake at 350' for 30 minutes. Cool to room temp and add whipped topping. Mint leaf to garnish. If using 9'13 inch pan increase cooking time to 35-40 min or until pudding is set. You can also serve with ice cream if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will ensure that your bread pudding has the best possible flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread pudding tough.
  • Bake the bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the bread pudding to set.
  • Serve the bread pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include whipped cream, ice cream, and fresh berries.
