Cream Corn Custard Cake



I wanted a thin layer of custard filling so I only use 1/2 portion for the custard filling and I added in extra cream corn. The surface is not smooth, why? Blamed it on my itchy hand lah. I tried to smooth the surface while it already half set. I shouldn't have do that in the first place as due to the extra cream corn which I added, the surface will appeared uneven. :(

Hi Happy flour

You mentioned "Mix all the ingredients except cream corn into a pot until well combined.

However, when I read further, there was no mentioned when should I add in the cream corn in order to finish cooking the corn pudding layer.

Thank you.
