Instructions
To make the bread pudding:
- Grease a 2-quart baking dish. Place the cubed cake in the prepared pan.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cookie butter, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour over the cake in the pan, pressing the cake down into the mixture if needed.
- Refrigerate the mixture for an hour to overnight.
- Remove the chilled bread pudding from the refrigerator to sit at room temperature while the oven heats. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve warm with warm vanilla sauce.
To make the sauce:
- Place the butter, sugar, brown sugar, cream, and salt in a heavy saucepan***. Cook over medium heat until bubbly and thickened (about 4-6 minutes).
- Remove the pan from the heat. Carefully stir in the vanilla.
- Spoon over servings of warm bread pudding.
Notes
- *Homemade or store-bought. My favorite is Cream Cheese Pound Cake (a half recipe). If your cake isn't a few days old, then toast it at 350°F for 7 to 10 minutes.
- **Look for cookie butter alongside other spreads, like peanut butter.
- **The mixture will be quite bubbly while it cooks, so be sure to use a large enough pan.
- Sauce recipe slightly adapted from Land O'Lakes.
- Store tightly covered in the refrigerator up to 5 days. Reheat before serving.
