Caramel & Squash Custard Cake



It is also another Halloween baking that I have done but has not been posted. It is a custard cake that is served cold. It is like pudding. I adapted it from Ochikeron, a blogger and youtuber, and changed the recipe to my own preference.

Ingredients:
The top part:
80g sugar
4 tbsp water

Custard/Filling:
5 eggs
600g squash, steamed and mashed
500ml milk
180g sugar

Steps:
1. Cook sugar and water to make caramel (top part). Cook in pan on medium low heat till bubbly form formed. Pour into a greased 9 by 9 inch loaf pan immediately before it hardens. Put in fridge to set.
2. Heat milk and sugar in the pan at medium low heat till the mixture simmer. Slowly pour beaten egg mixture little by little, and mix thoroughly to prevent egg from cooked. Strain the mixture through a sieve. Add in the mashed and cooked squash into the mixture. (You can strain after this step to get a finer texture, but I prefer some "meat" inside my custard.)
3. Bake in preheated oven at 350 F for 50-60 minutes. Cool in fridge then flip it over and serve!




Happy baking =)
