No, me either. But it does seem to look quite cake like rather than puddingesque. To me, at least. Although I've not encountered a coffee cake using cream in the batter, personally.
It's not a cake ) The batter is too moist (even more than in brownies) and the bottom is liquid. Instead of cream you can use milk as well. But as for me, I prefer cream or half to half. This recipe is the resalt of common facts about puddings and several ideas from another recipies. And my own preferences, of course ) One of the recipe I use - from British cuisine. But judging by comments - it is not ))) Well, anyway, this pudding is really delicious )) And now I know that coffee pudding is not typical for Britain )) This is very important because I want to learn this cuisine. My comment looks like a poem )))
I mean it looks interesting and all... even tasty but no *shakes head* we bake rice pudding but all other puddings are steamed.
Actually there are two exceptions. Summer "pudding" and Chocolate pudding but they aren't *really* a puddings, they're called that because you make them in pudding bowls, so they *look* like a pudding "bowl" pudding. Much like calling an easter egg an egg.
I say "bowl" pudding because you can of course steam a pudding in muslin and make a sausage shape, like spotted dick (no laughing at the back there! :) )
You should also know, that we call desert "pudding". Anything sweet served after main course over the years has taken on the generic term "pudding" so... Ice cream and jelly can be "pudding".

Sadly, a lot of British food is done poorly, which is :(

At least, there are a lot of variations of chocolate pudding in the different shapes. So, my pudding is almost the same but fot coffee flavor and shape. I bake what I prefer, even if it is not typical. And I don't want to say that my pudding recipe is typical for Britian, I just take the general "pudding" idea. That's it :)
