You already have all the ingredients in your house for this. It will look strange [like lumpy curdled milk] when you're ready to put it in the oven, but you're just going to have to trust her.. It's a sweet treat that you can't stop eating. —Lucy K

Everyones oven heats differently-it will look like chunky soup when going in, but coming out it may be a little jiggly in the middle. This cake is a cross between flan and a creme brulee texture wise. Make sure it's fully cooled before you cut into it [good luck with that I can never wait].
