Hi guys,
I need some help tweaking a recipe, can't seem to get the flavor profiles right. Okay first things first, I am trying to come up with a vape version of a dessert very close to my heart. It is a French Canadian classic called Poor Man's Pudding. If you haven't tried it, you should really bake one tonight: http://www.ricardocuisine.com/recipes/378-traditional-poor-man--s-pudding
Many people here in Québec also like to pour some heavy cream on top. (Hey, I never said it was healthy )
What makes this "cake" unique, is that while it is baking, the brown sugar melts and caramelizes and creates an amazing syruppy liquid in which the cake bathes. The syrup soaks into the cake and creates pure sweet happiness.
Now, the problem I am having is I just can not get that oozy, sweet, wet brown sugar syrup taste in the mix. I have tried several versions, all vapeable, but not satisfying. Flavors tried:
Cake:
FW Yellow Cake
FW Tres Leches
FA Cookie
FA Custard
FA Vanilla Classic
Syrup:
TFA Brown Sugar
FA Caramel
FA Butterscotch
Others:
FA Fresh Cream
I am getting a bunch of caramel-y cakes, but they are mostly flat and nothing that quite tastes like poor man's pudding. Please help!
